At the same time, you will keep an eye on the budget and deadlines so that everything stays on track and you can ensure that the team achieves its goal.
Agility as a top priority determines your daily business as a Scrum Master. You will ensure that the project or your product is developed further and that the process runs smoothly. In a way, you are the moderator, and you make sure that product owners, developers and all team members involved in the process have everything they need to work successfully. In your future company, you will also take on administrative tasks within the Scrum team and partly act as a coach for your team.
As a programme manager, you will take on a higher management position in your company and will be able to pursue a career in a wide variety of sectors.
