What is Scrum Master as a Service (SMaaS)?
In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, Agile teams need strong leadership to stay focused, remove roadblocks, and continuously improve. But hiring a full-time Scrum Master isn’t always the most efficient or cost-effective solution.
That’s where Scrum Master as a Service (SMaaS) comes in.
With SMaaS, you gain instant access to experienced, on-demand Scrum Masters who seamlessly integrate with your teams, ensuring Agile best practices are followed, impediments are removed, and productivity is maximized—all without the overhead of a full-time hire.

How SMaaS Works
Agile success starts with strong, consistent leadership—but not every team has access to a full-time Scrum Master. With Scrum Master as a Service (SMaaS), you gain expert Agile guidance tailored to your team’s needs, ensuring smooth Scrum ceremonies, removing impediments, and fostering high performance.
We follow a structured Scrum Master Playbook, divided into three key phases to maximize impact:
