This is exactly why I'm working on getting my PMP and technical skills. The days of cheap debt are over and companies no longer need specialists. They actually want T shaped employees now across the board. It's evolve or die out in these streets. Good job girl on taking the initiative!!!

[@ScrumMastered]

It's important to keep learning @thomasj7506 considering how quickly the job market is changing

[@melianhe13]

I'm researching, learning and improving. I can't imagine how hard it would be to transitiong from an accountant to a SM. Congrats. The barrier for me is the language i guess. I have to learn the language and how to be a SM.

[@ScrumMastered]

Maybe wherever you are the Scrum Master role is available where you can speak the language you feel more comfortable with?

[@hiphopmrs]

I love the transparency on your channel!

[@ScrumMastered]

Thanks! @hiphopmrs

[@olegkramar669]

During the interview a lot of questions are asked about individual performance, but this is not Agile. When I say about team performance check, the interviewers think I am insane.

[@ScrumMastered]

Yes, it's a big mindset shift for the organizations. HR and Finance would need to change the way they approach work to get the full Agile transformation. How can we have team members prioritizing team goals over their individual ones, when at the end of the year we're evaluating them individually?

[@olegkramar669]

Also many companies want SM to be between stakeholder and team. They don't want teams to develop only, and SM gives info.from.stakeholders

[@parris05]

I loved every it of this!! There wasn’t a single thing she said that I couldn’t relate to. Thank you both for this❤️ Yes, can she specify the trainings that she did? Thanks again.

[@ScrumMastered]

Our pleasure! Thank you for tunning in!

[@ScrumMastered]

Oh, yes, the links to training are at the end of the transcript here: scrummastered.com/blog/agile-audit-podcast-s1-e1-new-scrum-master/

[@mariamas.3312]

Thank you for sharing your experience!👏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾

[@ScrumMastered]

Thank you for watching!

[@nadegenicolas3963]

This was a good interview Daria. I have to take some courses on communication and leadership to better myself as I transition myself into a scrum master.

[@ScrumMastered]

I'm glad you enjoyed this conversation

[@SinaLaJuanaLewis]

This was very helpful, thank you 🙏🏽

[@ScrumMastered]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ismaelmasso6662]

Nice interview, public speaking has definitively been one of the most useful skills I have practised in my role as Scrum Master and Agile Coach.

[@ScrumMastered]

They don't talk about it in the job descriptions though :)

[@melinaborin3020]

Such a great video!!! I will share it!

[@ScrumMastered]

@melinaborin3020 thanks for watching!

[@kinkycurlymanestay]

Good video. Can you please share the links to the Udemy courses and learning materials she found helpful? Thank you in advance 🙂

[@ScrumMastered]

Yes, all details are here at the bottom of the transcript: scrummastered.com/blog/agile-audit-podcast-s1-e1-new-scrum-master/

[@healthywithbenna]

Great video and tips. Daria, can you please share more details about your niko niko calendar? I work with a virtual team and we use slack. Trying to figure out how I can integrate it? Thank you 😊

[@ScrumMastered]

I'm pretty sure there are some apps for Slack that can help you with that, actually. But basically, what you want is to run a quick poll every morning asking for an estimate from 1 to 5 or 1 to 10 about how each team member feels today. And then you can collect that information and show the averages in a graph. You can keep the responses anonymous. But you'll be able to see the overall trend
