What is a Scrum Master Contractor?

A Scrum Master contractor is a certified professional who works on a temporary or contract basis to ensure that Agile teams adhere to the Scrum framework. The Scrum Master serves as a facilitator and coach, helping teams adopt Agile principles, remove obstacles, and improve efficiency to deliver better results. They work closely with developers, product owners, and other stakeholders to ensure the success of each sprint.

At PathFinder, our Scrum Master contractors have deep knowledge of Agile methodologies, including Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe, and have a proven track record of helping teams increase productivity and deliver high-quality projects on time.
