What is a Scrum Master
Now let’s discuss what is a Scrum Master and some advanced specifics of the responsibilities. Scrum Master is a coach and assistant for the Scrum team.
They ensure that team members share the values of Scrum, follow the rules of the framework, and follow the principle “One for all, and all for one.” The Scrum Master creates a Scrum culture and helps the company to become “Agile”.
The interaction of other people and teams is also the responsibility of the Scrum Master. They help to stop interruptions with the team.
The Advances Certified Scrum Master is not a formal authority. They cannot order people to do something. Their task is to observe, give feedback, and propose solutions so that the team works as efficiently as possible.
Scrum Master teaches you how to do Scrum
The simplest function of the Scrum Master is to teach people how to work according to the rules of Scrum. This means that Master Scrum spends most of the day with the Development Team and the Product Owner.
Scrum Master helps the Development Team to become self-organized and cross-functional. To this end, they grow trust across the team, help to resolve conflicts, and work within the framework of Scrum. They focus attention on the discrepancies between the actions of the Team and the values of Scrum and provide feedback.
During the team meetings, the Master Scrum monitors the time and organizes the process of productive outcomes. Even experienced self-organized teams that can independently conduct Scrum events work more effectively with the Scrum Master. For beginner teams, Scrum Master’s role is vital.
The Scrum Master and the Product Owner
The Scrum Master teaches the Product Owner how to follow Scrum, helps to manage the Product Backlog. Creates conditions in which the Product Owner and the Development Team understand each other and represent the amount of work needed to achieve a common goal.
Scrum Master helps the organization become Agile
Scrum masters do not limit their activities with team training. The second important function of the Advanced Scrum Master is to help the entire organization respond more quickly to changes.
The fact is that cultivating agility in a company is a long and painful process. Scrum master is a source of value for Agile management approaches. They start the transformation of the company and do not allow them to go back.
If the company has processes that violate the principles of Scrum, then it is a Scrum Master that finds them and advises how to do better.
How to become a Scrum Master taking the advanced training course
First, let’s discuss how an advanced Scrum Master role comes to a team. Usually, the Scrum Masters are chosen from the team members. They read and learn the Scrum Guide and, at best, they are sent to training courses. We recommend inviting Advanced Certified Scrum Master from outside the organization.
In other words, we believe that this is the best option for you because such specialists have experience and can objectively assess the situation in the company.
We advise you to hire the most experienced Scrum masters, which are available out there. Often, inexperienced Scrum masters achieve formal adherence to the Scrum Guide, but do not work well with the framework’s values.
The Scrum Master applies real Scrum culture in the organization and helps to grow Agile principles and methodologies. The scrum master is the keeper and conductor of Scrum values in the company. So they grow the Agile culture in the team, establish the right processes, and help the company to become agile with the least losses.
Enrolling in the Advanced Certified Scrum Master training course is the best way to grow your career but going deep into development practices and Agile methodologies is how you will acquire real knowledge and visions about the advanced Agile principles.

Hello,
This sounds exiting but is is this Scrum Master certification really free? Is there any taxes, how can I enroll the course. Are there any free training materials as well? Please respond soon. I really need this. Best regards,
Peter
I have the following question. Is the Advanced Scrum Master role equivalent to a project manager or is the classic Scrum Master an alternative to it, and the Advanced role is more of a qualification upgrade? Prices vary and I wonder what would have worked for me in my career. Thanks in advance. I know the question is a bit subjective and atypical.
I would like to register. Is this scumalliance?
Hello everyone,
As far as I get the entire idea, the Scrum Master is not so high position in the company hierarchy. Is that correct? The price of the certificate is cheaper than the project management certificate. At the same time the Scrum team does not have a project manager, and this is confusing. In other articles on the net I read that Scrum is very popular and many companies use it a lot. Please can you suggest me where should I focus my efforts and budget? Thanks a bunch.
The difference in price is not because of the position but because of the different organizations offering these two separate qualifications. You cannot compare them based on level, tier or something like that. There is also no project management role in Scrum teams. Get familiar with the area and choose what you want to do exactly. Salary is not related to the position itself if this is what’s bothering you.
Hi PGOV, Thanks for that great article. I would like to ask if this Scrum Master training can be a good source and base of knowledge for project managers. I am a mission to find great management training and was wondering if this Scrum course would be a benefit for my goals.
Hello,
Does the BVOP application expect participation at a special workshop, coaching or pre-course? Are extra fees paid and what would be the closing price for the customer? I guess that there is an online exam that confirms the student’s awareness, but what would be the full process for joining in the program? Thanks
Dear Sidney,
No practical workshops or training courses are required for BVOP certification programs as their certification process needs only learning of the BVOP Ultimate Guide and BVOP Agile guide. The exam is computer-based and fully online as you guessed.
Hi everyone. Thanks for the wonderfully provided and well-structured information. I have already received an official document and I am extremely happy. The BVOP methodology you mention is probably interesting and valuable for any Agile organization…
