What does career growth look like on your team?

At Scaled Agile I started with basic copyediting and QA testing, progressed to content development, and now have been a scrum master for over two years. I was allowed and actually encouraged to reach outside my lane, and I continue to explore my interests: even if that means I contribute to a different team or domain.

What's the biggest problem your team is solving?

One of our biggest challenges is supporting international expansion and growth. In two short years, we’ve transformed from having English-only materials to providing courses and learning materials in seven different languages.
