According to a recent report, greater than 71% of companies use Agile approaches globally. Agile is not only being applied in software development but beyond it such as marketing, finance, audits, product development, construction, drug development and so many more different types of projects.

As the adoption of agile has grown so has the demand for Scrum and in turn, Scrum Masters. More companies and people are jumping on the Scrum bandwagon.

== What is Agile software development? ==

There are various definitions and explanations that exist on the internet. In a nutshell, Agile is a way of working that was initially applied in the world of software development to release value to customers faster. Agile is the amalgamation of values, practices, and principles such as iterative and incremental development, adaptive planning, high levels of team collaboration, self-organization, cross-functionality, and continual improvement. In combination, these practices have enabled several companies to get their innovative products to market faster and cheaper. The thinking from similar agile practice was embodied in the Agile manifesto that was written in 2001.

== What is Scrum? ==

Scrum is the dominant agile framework used by the majority of agile companies across the world. Scrum is a lightweight method that enables companies to solve complex adaptive problems while delivering the highest possible value to end-users and customers.

Scrum has simple rules, roles, and artifacts that enable any organization or person to apply it in their environment and quickly gain benefits from it.

In the last few years, the popularity of Scrum and Scrum Masters has gone through the roof. Interestingly, it has surpassed the demand for Project Managers too.

== Who is the Scrum Master? ==

The Scrum Master is a role in scrum that helps teams, stakeholders, and the organization at large to understand Scrum values, rules, artifacts, and its successful application. The Scrum Master leads the team using servant leadership techniques and unlike a traditional manager does not impose his/her opinions or ways of working on the team. The Scrum Master serves as a coach who leads the team from standing behind them.
