Scrum Coach

CIO.com ranks Scrum coach as one of the highest-paid mid-level roles, requiring 5-10 years of experience in IT. That's because Scrum has played a major role in streamlining software development. According to the Scrum Alliance, 66 percent of the Agile frameworks that companies use are either Scrum or a variant of Scrum. As a result of the importance of this Agile framework, those who take on the role of Scrum coach--teaching Scrum adoption and best practices for Agile software development to IT organizations or Agile development environments--receive a median salary of $151K per year. The job typically requires Scrum certification, as well as previous demonstrable success.
