CSP-SM Post-Class Assignment 5

Assignment 5 – Scrum Mastery

In class you shared with your classmates your own personal path to Scrum Mastery up to this point. In the future you may be asked by someone you are mentoring what your own path was. You may receive questions about your biggest challenge, something profound that you learned, or what learning experiences to seek out. This assignment expands on the information from class and will have you illustrate your own path in the hopes you could share it with someone else.

The path to becoming an excellent Scrum Master is different for every professional, however there are some paths that have similar 'signposts' along their journey. As you are in a CSP-SM course, you have walked past these signposts to get here. Below, you will capture what things were like for you along this path at each signpost.
