How to Become A Scrum Master without Experience

How to become a #scrummaster without experience. Read the #Scrum Guide and get certified, this will help you understand at least on a conceptual level what Scrum is and how it works.

The biggest thing needed to become a Scrum Master is experience and so to get that experience starting off by working on a Scrum Team is going to be instrumental into pivoting into the role of SM. You can do this as a Business Analyst or Subject Matter Expert seeing as BAs frequently work on Scrum Teams.

If you’re currently working, consider your career history and if there's been any projects for which you've worked with a development team, if so, see if you can reconnect with members of that team and if you can be a power user or a subject matter expert that can provide input into one of their products.

You can even take a look at the products you use on a day to day in your current role, see if there's an IT team that maintains the product and connect with them that way. Once you find a dev team using Scrum, request an informational interview with their Scrum Master so you can establish a rapport and hopefully then be able to shadow that person at some point.
