I got fired of a 10 years job in the Aviation last year because of the consequences of The Covid19. I am decided to change career and get into the Agile field. I have no experience to get a Job as a Scrum Master but you opened my mind. I can get the necessary experience to get my first Scrum Master Job by applying Agile principles on my own life. By becoming an Agile Man and understanding its principles on a daily bases, I believe I will get an opportunity in the near Future. Thanks for your mentoring.

In as much as this information is good to get used to agile practices, truth is Scrum isn’t an entry level role and it will be extremely rare to see a scrum role with less than 3yrs needed. An average hands on experience I have mostly seen required in 5yrs and above. It’s a highly competitive role now and some companies are evening combining the roles with candidates with backend skills.

Hi. Sorry, long question. I've recently landed a role as a non-tech Project Manager. I have a strong mix of niche domain knowledge and a business analyst skillet that more often than not morphs more into product ownership. I'm often labelled as 'too nice' or even worse, not taking ownership even though I'm not the point of failure. I'm very mindful of feedback that I need to be 'like a dog with a bone'. I want to work on this and be an individual who drives project delivery to completion but I'm not sure I have the right toolkit. I'm working to define the mvp and road map, the epics, costed stories and meeting regularly with my team; providing full visibility - thus accountability - of those stories and project plans at the meetings. I'm arranging plentiful demos and reviewing my backlog and getting status updates. What more can I do to be someone who is a (positive) driving force and deliverer of results? How do I go from 'being soft' to being a delivery machine without compromising empathy and relationships?
