Description
Content

Still perceived as a promotion from developer to a managerial level, the Scrum Master has dangerously morphed in a Technical Subject Expert that can (and in some organization should) replace Project Managers. Project Manager is the natural progression path for a Scrum Master, but is not as easy as attending a few days Training course.This book is an attempt to explain the differences between Scrum Master and Project Manager and help Scrum Masters aspiring to become Project Managers to take an informed decision.
