dc.description.abstractThis study explores the competencies required for Scrum Masters by analyzing 51 job postings from the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia. The findings reveal a growing demand for Scrum Masters with a diverse skill set, including leadership, coaching, communication, and problem-solving, alongside Agile expertise. The results align with frameworks such as the Scrum Guide and SAFe, emphasizing the importance of practical experience and the Scrum Master’s role in driving organizational transformation and promoting Agile maturity. These insights highlight the evolving expectations for Scrum Masters in modern Agile environments.
