Most of us start out at the team level working as a #scrummaster dedicated to a single #scrumteam. We're there as the guardians of #scrum but also to learn from the team and to help them become as effective as possible.
You're instilling #agilevalues and #agileprinciples and helping the team to get the most out of the #scrumevents and #scrumartefacts. As your team improve, so do you as a scrum master.
It's sometimes hard to tell just how far we have come, but over time, you grow and evolve to a point where you are more than a single team #scrummaster and instead, have evolved into an #agilecoach that works with multiple teams and senior leaders within the organisation.
In this short video, John McFadyen describes how his transition from scrum master to #agilecoach arrived. There is no one shining moment or victory parade marking the event, it is instead just a result of continuous improvement, over time, and greater exposure to more people and opportunities within the organisation and industry.
John McFadyen has worked on some of the highest performing #scrum teams in the world as both a scrum master and agile coach. He has also worked at the coalface of some of the UK and Europe's largest, most complex #agiletransformations so he's experienced everything from scrum master to enterprise level executive agile coach.
