When people first look at the Scrum framework, they often see the roles and the events first. They see only the structure of Scrum; who wears the hats and when.

“Scrum” is a phenomenal subject – i.e. if you are familiar with it. As an Agile project manager, I have seen my fair share of so-called “Scrum Masters” and “Agile Experts” claiming to be masters of their craft. The truth, however, is that they don’t know a lot of things about Scrum and Agile.
