Is it still worth it to pay for a Scrum Master?

Is it still worth it to pay for a Scrum Master?
with Jan Hadrava

Across the industry, more and more companies are questioning whether Scrum Masters are worth the investment. Hiring slows down. Teams claim they “don’t need one.” And the role itself is interpreted so differently that its real impact often gets lost.
This meetup tackles that head-on.
Based on a real case study from Woven by Toyota, the talk “Is it still worth it to pay for a Scrum Master?” digs into practical, measurable outcomes rather than theory.

After being presented in Tokyo and Prague, it continues to spark honest conversations about what the role should actually look like — and what happens when it’s done right.

Join us if you want to explore:​

• How Scrum Masters make a practical difference in how teams work
• Why developers benefit when the role is practiced effectively
• What managers should expect from a Scrum Master — and how it shows up in team results

If you’ve ever questioned the relevance of the Scrum Master role (or heard others do it), this is the session you don’t want to miss.

Meet Jan, an experienced Agile Coach, based in Tokyo. We are happy to welcome him on his European stop, where he's looking forward to connect with local communities.
