Become A Freelance Scrum Master And Land Your First Gig In Less Than 3 Months
5 steps to get successfully started
Yes, I know, the title is provocative, and long-time Scrum Masters will be outraged and say: “You can’t become a Scrum Master in 3 months; you need years of experience!”
That is true: the more experience you have, the better you can assess situations and the more possibilities you have to support the team efficiently. But every Scrum Master started at some point and has evolved.
If you want to hit the ground running, take three months and do the following five things.
1. Plan your activities and take care of the administrative stuff
Use some of the Scrum practices to plan and get things done over the next three months. First, create a backlog with all necessary activities and always plan for two weeks. Then, reflect after two weeks at the latest.
I am not giving legal or tax advice here. However, depending on the regulations in your country, you will, of course, have to register your business and take care of accounting, taxes, social insurance, etc.
