Clarify the Scrum Master Role:
Have you ever heard people think a Scrum Master is just an “Agile project manager” or a “personal coach”? We’ll tackle these misconceptions head-on, showing that a Scrum Master is neither of these things but rather the engine that drives team synergy and effectiveness.

Many teams get bogged down by outdated myths that hurt productivity and stifle creativity. You will lean how to forecast better, how to inspire deeper, and how to deliver more value, not just more quantity.
You’ll gain the clarity and confidence needed to lead teams effectively in the Agile world by correcting misconceptions.
