PST Ryan Ripley steps in as guest host in this Professional Scrum Trainer Spotlight episode featuring PST Becky Savill. Becky Savill's journey to becoming a Scrum Master began nearly 10 years ago when, after six months of programming, her boss suggested she might be better suited to the role, despite her lack of prior knowledge about Scrum.
