The Difference between working as a Developer and Scrum Master

* HOW TO PASS SCRUM MASTERS INTERVIEW? *

I'm often asked about what the differences are between working as a Software Developer and a Scrum Master/Agile Coach, and whether a Software Developer can become a Scrum Master. As a Software Developer who became an Agile Coach I can tell you that it is possible! Want to learn how and hear my story, then this video is perfect for you!

Still confused? Book 1-on-1 time with me here:

My name is Anatoly Spektor and I have spent more than 10 years in Software Development world, and currently I help people with Agile Project Management.

If you have any other questions about Agile that you'd like answered, don't be afraid to ask them on LinkedIn, Twitter, Quora, and of course in the comment section (all social media links further down)!

You said, “some companies burn out their developers so much that developers is a stressful job” -but isn't the agile coach or scrum master suppose to defend them ?

Hi, I'm a database developer and having 5 year's experience in it. I realised that I'm done with coding and planning to switch to non coding skill set.
I have 2 questions for you:
1) is it good for me to learn agile methodologies and switch to application side like scrum master that would involve me to not code?
2) do you think being freelancer scrum master or having agile methodologies knowledge will give me freelancing job? As I have never tried freelancing till now.

Looking forward for your answer. Thanks in advance

Did you make a video on the difference between scrum master vs agile coach? I notice agile makes more money than scrum master. I want to know which one is less stressful. You said you had downtime as agile which I think is a good thing.

Why does agile coaching salary is higher compared to scrum master? (I've seen the difference for New York City and agile salary is crazy)

Hello, I am having 10 years of experience as a Developer & now I want to switch my career into Scrum Master / ( Project Management.)
Because in development every day there is new coding language is generated & most of the IT companies want to learn that one day & implement too 😊
Requirements are also changing day by day.
So my Old coding experience is also not getting calculated because that technology got outdated & companies want to work on latest technology with experience ..
So thats why, I want to switch into Scrum master . Actually from last 2.years I am.aware of agile methodologies.
So what is a roadmap to become a Knowledgeable Scrum Master .? So that my coding Experience also I utilize in my profile ?? 😊
I hope I'll get answer 😊
