You are amazing! I’m able to retain all the information you’re providing in your videos. Thank you for taking your time to speak, simplifying your explanations to us. Do you offer 1-2-1 coaching/mentoring i am highly interested please!

Finally, someone that truly knows the difference. Now if you could let IT department executives know! Great content!

Hmm my view on it is this. A certified scrum master may not be a project manager but an agile project manager might be a scrum master. The agile project manager has knowledge on multiple methodologies like you said but the SM only knows scrum. So imo a project manager is a lot more valuable than someone who just knows scrum. With that said it depends on the company and what they’re trying to accomplish. Great video :)

Best breakdown I've seen on this so far!

That was clarifying. Thank you! 🙏🏼

Nice 🎉

Amazing content as always. i am just about to start a career in PM , I would like to know more about your mentorship program.

Also I learned that scrum master deals with specifics aas far as scrum framework is concern and report to product manager but the project manager deals with projects entirely and report directly to the stakeholders.

Great video Hi , Great video !!! I’m a finance Assistant looking for changing to an scrum master how could I do it ?

Hi, Very good explanation, what's is your suggestion if someone needs to switch career from pharma quality control lab to project management stream. What's the basic knowledge n experience is required? Thanks 😊

Please what's the difference between project management and business management?

Thanks Ogaga, i would like to join any PM forum for more interaction and knowledge, thanks

Which application was used for the white board?

Hi I work as a financial advisor and I have bachelors in commerce and also a ceritification from Humber, I am new to industry! What do you suggest me to grow in PM journey?

Hi Ogaga I looking to enter into project management field l am getting some practical experience doing practical experience in my current job role l planning to study for CAPM collection of 4 exams and certification. I would love to hear more information via your content.

Can you please share the link for the certifications?

Scrum Master is asked to know also Kanban, Lean, XP

This is for those who love talking and have coaching skills.

What’s the best way to gain experience within project with no experience. I took a PMP prep course at my local university, but i need more hands on experience

In summary, for engineering works: Project Manager = Product Owner, (Likely) Senior Officer = Scrum Master

Well said... For some one looking to transit from a career to another like broadcasting to IT mgt what would you advise??

Thank you so much, Ogaga! I'm currently working as Project Coordinator (my company uses waterfall) and want to transition to IT to get experience in Agile and SDLC. My goal is to learn all the methodologies and work in a consulting company after. Do you think that getting a Scrum role is a smart move? I have never worked as PM directly and I'm worried that I won't be able to get a PM role in the future if I move to SM

Great video!!! I got my CSM last year and have been struggling with understanding and translating the skills to my current job as a Service Advisor at a dealership, any advise would be greatly appreciated and valued!!!

Hmm . Helpful video . Would have loved if you mention the title of the video you were referring to at 00:03:20. @ogagajohnson

Project Manager and Scrum Master in my professional experience are the same. When I mean the same, I mean they both have 0 knowledge of programming languages and generally anything technical about software development. Some of the Agile projects I've worked on had huge issues because Scrum Masters knew nothing about transforming user stories into technical jargon in order for us ( the scrum team ) to properly understand what the hell the PO ( Product Owner ) wants us to build. TIP: If you are an aspiring Scrum Master or Project Manager, at least bother learning the basics of software development in order to understand the SDLC ( Software Development Life Cycle ) so you can actually help the scrum team do their jobs properly, according to the SRS/BRS (Software Requirements Specifications and Business Requirements Specification ). Good scrum masters are in high demand, I concur with what she said in the video, I would personally love to see more competent scrum masters so I can spend less time refining user stories and get to doing my actual job, which is BUILDING THE DARN SOFTWARE !

What is the pay for a business analyst with Scrum certification?

I need sample cv for project managers and where to get certified for free as I currently can’t afford a course

I just passed my PMP exams. Had a couple of projects engagement merely based on Accounting but i really need advice and guidance on a well defined role in project management. I don't mind starting from scratch

Hello, how do i get certified?

@Ogaga Johnson, I emphasise from the outset that the following is my opinion - I'm not portraying it as definitive fact, but rather as offering an alternative perspective on your definitions. Re the definition of Project Management, it may seem like semantics, but you shouldn't use the phrase your are trying to define within your definition - it's called circular reasoning. I do agree that being a generalist is important for PMs in terms of project delivery, and that's why, in my opinion, the methodology a PM employs is arguably largely irrelevant. I think you may have added unnecessary complication in answering your main question in this way, and I don't think you properly defined what a project manager *is* before sub-categorising a Scrum Master as a subset of Project Management. I'll admit I found it confusing to hear you use a methodology to attempt to describe the project manager function - although I'll concede that talking about the Scrum Master function in this way does make some sense because in practice it is an Agile-specific function (albeit it relates to a specific type of Agile). Here's an alternative definition for a PM: "An IT PM is primarily a leadership function, and ultimately accountable for the successful delivery of a required business product/products. En route to successful delivery, the PM is solely accountable for leading the project team, and also acts as the main liaison between the business and the various project teams. The PM is accountable to the Project Sponsor/Project Board/business for effective planning, clear communication, efficient development, and successful delivery of the final product into the Live/Product environment. The PM may delegate responsibility for various deliverables (to BAs, SMEs, PMO, Test Team, Development Team etc. etc.) but he cannot delegate accountability for successful delivery of any project artefact or the final product itself." This definition is methodology agnostic. Also, this highlights the fundamental difference between a PM and a Scrum Master - the Scrum Master is NOT responsible/accountable for project deliverables - this falls to the Product Owner in the Scrum environment. I think the skillsets for PMs and Scrum Masters are very different, and there is a considerable body of evidence that shows dissatisfaction with the Scrum Master function - this is not because the Scrum Master can't be successful or doesn't work, but because the skills of a Scrum Master are incredibly difficult to acquire and apply properly in a fast-paced project environment - particularly the Teaching function - talking about teaching and actually doing it are two very different things. Having a piece of paper that says you are a qualified Scrum Master doesn't make you an effective Scrum Master, but that's a different issue! I also have to disagree with your statement that a PM will look at project deliverables and project objectives and decide what methodology will be employed on a project. My main objection allies to Agile as a methodology: unless the organisations fully buys into Agile and the whole way Agile actually works, then to be frank it doesn't matter what the PM decrees in terms of saying Project X will use Agile and Project Y will use Waterfall etc, the business simply will ignore it if they are used to working in a Waterfall approach - and the Development Teams will certainly ignore any such decree if they are not geared up to work in an Agile way!! Most organisations have a stated project approach, and at best it tends to be Wagifall or Wagile - the project approach tends to be pre-defined at organisational level, and the vast majority of PMs simply do not have the authority to impose a methodology either on the project, or the organisation - and even if by some miracle they were given such authority, I believe the probability of success would be very low indeed. Now I fully accept that your experience is probably completely different to mine, and that you have experience of the approaches as you've outlined in your video. I've worked in a range of project environments too, and mine are clearly different to yours 🙂. Mine is just a different opinion and perspective. I'd be interested to get your feedback on what I've posted as I'm genuinely interested in your opinion.

Thank you for this important information. Please, can a project manager apply for a product manager role?

If you’re like me & wondering what several of the Project Management & Scrum Master terms are 3:33 ❤ Thanks Ogaga!

Hi Ogaga, I have subscribed to your KZfaq channel. I will like to say that you are doing a great job on your channel and I would like you to be my mentor to enable me advance my career as a PM.
