The last few weeks have been consumed with getting my professional life here in Australia onto a new track. I’d already mentioned that I can now call myself a “Professional Scrum Master”. I’ll explain what Scrum is actually about in another note. In the meantime, I’ve had several meetings with people from the IT industry and discovered that Scrum Masters are more in demand in Sydney than in Newcastle. So, what to do?
Since Scrum Masters work closely with Product Owners anyway, I’ve also dived into the PO profile and passed the “Professional Scrum Product Owner” certification. I’m more active on my English site at the moment because I want to establish myself in the agile world.
As a career changer, it’s not easy. But as a PO, it seems more manageable.
We’ll see.
