Leave me a comment below - which role are you pursuing, and what do you think is the biggest difference between a Project Manager and a Scrum Master?

Im working as a PM right now ( my first official PM position): I have been responsible for checking in with the team, making sure the tickets in Jira are updated and current. I have been backlog grooming and getting feedback from our Dev team and our Design team. Sending out bi-weekly updates to stake holders and team on their progress. I think right now this PM role I have, is being a bit both both the scrum master, and Project manager. Right now we are doing week long sprints and its been a mish mash of both roles. Its definitely anxiety inducing but I really like helping the team get their work done. I have to set up a backlog grooming session next week and it will be my first one! wish me luck!

@TheRealJonSarge, thank you for sharing your experience and feedback as a PM! I've also seen other PM roles be a mixture of a Scrum Master and a Project Manager role, where you're managing projects, but also having to manage JIRA, lead sprints, backlog grooming, communicating with the Product Owner. It can feel overwhelming, but don't forget that you CAN do this! It's so extremely rewarding to be able to lead teams and seeing everyone's work get "done"

I recently completed my scrum master certification and planning to do CAPM certification as well. I recently got a job as a PM and I think as a PM the there are more options in the job market as well and it’s rewarding career than scrum master in long term.

Great feedback, I agree as well that there as many opportunities as a PM!

If you took the PMP, it would be great to have the PMP ACP more oriented to the Agile mindset spectum. I have more than seven certifications from Alliance and still think the ACP covers more (overall speaking). Excellent video

Please make a video on Project manager vs product manager. Highly confused to choose from. I want to have a longer career path and great learning though out. Thank you! Try to cover role requirements, eligibility, career path and salary trends

Great idea, I'm adding it to my list of future videos to create, thank you!

Alvin, would it be wise or recommended to learn technical skills on KZread first before obtaining a certification? Example would be Microsoft Project, PowerPoint, Excel etc. especially for someone like myself with no experience?

Got it Alvin. Scrum master it is then! 🙂The roles just matches my personality and values.

The Scrum Master role is a great career path, with great salaries as well! Plus, you're also going to be in the tech space, with helping out with new technologies and software 👍

Hi, I'm working in banking operations like AML/KYC process and willing to switch off my career to Project Manager/Scrum master. As I don't have much tech knowledge except jira, power point, excel, which career would be better fit for starting with?

Thanks for sharing your experience and reaching out! Both are great career paths! I'd encourage you to start looking at both job postings in your industry and see which ones you qualify more for. Your knowledge in Jira, Powerpoint, and Excel will help you get very far, since many companies that want a PM or Scrum Master want those skills, as well as experience in Agile You likely already have experience with Agile projects, so I'd recommend checking out job postings and seeing which ones you qualify the most, based on your experience, and then going all in.
