What is a true Scrum Master?

A true Scrum Master leads their Scrum Team to deliver more value sooner. A Scrum Master who achieves everything else but not this is not really a Scrum Master.

What qualifies ScrumMatch to evaluate Scrum Masters?

ScrumMatch is run by Scrum Masters who have been studying, practicing and teaching Scrum since 2005. Among the Scrum Masters who do the evaluation we also have Professional Scrum Trainers (PST) from Scrum.org, the organization of the Scrum co-founder Ken Schwaber.

How does ScrumMatch evaluate a true Scrum Master?

ScrumMatch evaluates Scrum Masters in three ways:

• Through the Scrum Match profile which Scrum Masters complete after registering on the platform;
• Through an interview with other experienced true Scrum Masters;
• Through a case study that highlights typical challenges Scrum Masters will encounter when using Scrum.

ScrumMatch is not about the evaluation, it is about what comes after the evaluation. We want you to find a true Scrum Master job at a company that is serious about Scrum, which is why we will use the evaluation to give you clear and valuable feedback so you can inspect, adapt and grow as a Scrum Master!

How long does it take to start my evaluation after I submit my profile?

You can expect to start your evaluation process within two weeks of submitting your profile. This is because this is a manual process where our Scrum experts review profiles, conduct interviews and give feedback individually. We do not use AI to do this!

Can ScrumMatch help me find a job as a freelance or employed Scrum Master?

Yes. ScrumMatch supports the following types of work:

• Self-employed / freelance Scrum Masters seeking new projects.
• Scrum Masters seeking permanent employment with an organization.
• Scrum Masters employed by a service company that provides Scrum Masters to other companies.

Is ScrumMatch for free?

ScrumMatch is a "pay what you want" service. After you pass our review, you can choose to use our service for free or pay an amount you deem appropriate. Whether you use our service for free or for a fee has no effect on our review and the results.
