Hi crowd!
After 13 years in software development, and more than two decades of working with code, I'm currently considering changing my direction. I get no joy any longer from staring at code eight hours a day. I noticed that I like everything that revolves around team dynamics, though. How people interact with each other. And how communication could work out. How to improve it. Mediate, if necessary. However, I still also love thinking about the product itself.
On the horizon, a scrum master position is appearing. After a brief discussion, it's apparent that my current employer will support me. Currently, it's only about trying things out.
But I wonder what makes being a scrum master a full-time job. Of course I've seen several scrum masters in the past decade. Are there any people here, that made the transition from being a developer to becoming a scrum master? What are your experiences?
Thank you, and please keep it civil in the comments.
