Many aspiring Scrum Masters and Project Managers we meet have the same confusion.
They all lack industry experience and they all think doing a $500 certification give them an entry to this industry.
Yes that was the case 10 years back but right now, the industry has matured. They still hire for these roles but their expectations have changed.
They now expect the role to be agile in approach and firm in delivery. We call it “The Delivery Leader” skill. This is the exact approach we teach in our signature “Scrum Master & IT Project Manager Accelerator Program” and this course is to help you nudge in that direction.
