  • Lavaneesh Gautam's Journey to Scrum Mastery | Expert Insights & Tips
    May 1 2024
    Lavaneesh Gautam, a professional scrum trainer, shares his journey to becoming a Scrum Master on the "Becoming a Scrum Master" podcast with host Ryan Ripley. Gautam first encountered Scrum while working as a developer/business analyst in a fintech company in 2011. He appreciated its transparency and visual management, which motivated him to become a Scrum Master in 2014. His interest in Scrum was sparked by the limitations he observed in the waterfall method, particularly its command-and-control culture, which diminished job satisfaction. Gautam highlights a pivotal experience in an automotive company where a project failure due to a lack of agile methodology made him realize the importance of iterative and incremental work and understanding the underlying needs behind requirements. He advises aspiring Scrum Masters to continually learn and explore beyond formal training, emphasizing the importance of mindset, experimentation, and understanding broader aspects of product management and team dynamics. 🔔 Stay tuned for more episodes filled with expert knowledge and intriguing discussions.
