Mismatch in Expectations (00:00): There’s a significant mismatch between organizations' job descriptions for Scrum Masters and what a Scrum Master should do. Often, organizations look for PMI-certified project managers with Jira expertise, which is not typically a Scrum Master role.

Problem-Solving Focus (00:33): Scrum Masters should focus on understanding the problem they are hired to solve. Referencing Weinberg’s "Secrets of Consulting," they need to address the specific issues the organization wants to solve initially, even if they don’t perfectly align with pure Scrum practices.

Introducing Scrum Gradually (01:05): Although the initial focus may be on conventional project management, Scrum Masters can gradually introduce Scrum practices, like EBM dashboards, to highlight project progress within the organization's expectations.

Change Takes Time (01:32): Transforming an organization’s mindset toward Scrum and Agile practices requires patience. A sudden shift usually doesn’t work, so a gradual, evidence-based approach is more effective.

Gradual Training and Influence (01:32): To make a lasting impact, Scrum Masters should focus on training, collaborating, and gaining acceptance for Scrum methodologies over time. This helps them gain the respect and buy-in needed for change.
