He started with Scrum in 2010 as a developer, grew into a development manager, and reached executive level, running a department of 70 developers in his home country. Then he immigrated to Canada and had to start his career fresh. Certified by Scrum.org as both Scrum Master and Product Owner, the first role he landed was Scrum Master\u2014and that's where the trouble began. He knew SDLC inside out, he knew how developers think, he knew Scrum from the trenches. What he didn't know was how to be a servant leader: how to balance serving and leading, how to measure his own success, how to even notice the small wins. After years at the top, he was suddenly the person who knew the least. In this episode, Danil shares why he stayed in the role instead of walking away\u2014he loves building processes that help teams evolve, and he couldn't resist a real challenge. His advice to anyone at that same crossroads: be patient, reflect, build a feedback loop, and never stop learning. A certification proves you understand the base theory. Everything that matters comes after.   In this episode, we refer to the Tuckman model of team development, and how the storming phase tests every team\u2014and every newcomer.   Self-reflection Question: When was the last time you were the person on the team who "knew the least"\u2014and what did that teach you about your own growth?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends] \ud83d\udd25In the ruthless world of fintech, success isn't just about innovation\u2014it's about coaching!\ud83d\udd25 Angela thought she was just there to coach a team.
