Somebody is willing to mentor me as a Scrum Master ?

Hello guys, what are your thoughts on mentorship? I just recently got certified as a Scrum master and I don’t know the next step to take. I think I need someone to guide me step by step . Any ideas?

      Sure I guess!

      But time zones and so on might not work and it depends on what kind of support you need.

      In the short term my counsel would be that the base level of Scrum Master certification (PSM-1, CSM) is more or less like a theoretical driving licence. You know the rules of the road in a transactional sense, but not how to drive.

      In that context I’d suggest you need to continue with self-directed learning AND adding more “strings to your bow” through professional development courses. The certification is just the start.

      Allen Holub’s reading list is a good baseline of what you should really know about development in an agile context : https://holub.com/reading/

      I’d add to that Lyssa Adkin’s book on Coaching Agile Teams.

      You might also want to consider (depending on your experience):

      – an ICF-accredited coaching course
      – leadership courses
      – communications courses : conflict resolution, facilitation, courageous conversations, negotiation skills, that type of thing
      – business courses (potentially online via Coursera) on areas like finance, marketing, sales, as well as compliance
      – technology courses (eg via Microsoft Learn etc) on things like could technologies, security basics, testing basics and so on

      I’d also suggest following online discussions on LinkedIn – the “Scrum Practitioners” and “Agile And Lean Software Development” groups are especially helpful, spam-free and have a lot of good content. You might want to look at MeetUp and join in with some online or face-to-face meetups in your area as well.

      That might be a better place to start off and find a mentor, perhaps?
