Scrum Master resume keywords

Scrum certification and facilitation, with team delivery improvements. These are the terms recruiters search the ATS for, written the way postings write them.

Licenses and certifications

  • Certified ScrumMaster
  • SAFe Agilist

Tools, systems and languages

  • Jira

Skills and methods

  • Scrum
  • Agile
  • Sprint Planning
  • Kanban
  • Sprint Retrospectives

How to use them

  • Use the posting's exact wording. If it says a term one way, write it that way at least once.
  • Write the full credential with its acronym: "Project Management Professional (PMP)"
  • Tie each launch to a metric: adoption, revenue, cycle time, on-time delivery
  • State scope: team size, budget, number of stakeholders or workstreams
  • Only list what is true for you. A keyword you can't back up in an interview costs more than it gains.
