Some career climbs are harder because no one explains what actually changes at the next level.
For Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches, moving toward Program Leadership is not just about doing more work or collecting more certifications.
It often means learning how to operate across wider systems, influence without being the loudest voice in the room, understand delivery risk, support decision-making, and show up with the kind of judgment senior leaders trust.
This Friday on Career Catalyst Fridays, we’re welcoming André Costa for a practical session on:
From Scrum Master to Program Leader: the climb nobody talks about
André is a Program Delivery Leader at ExxonMobil, where he leads execution governance and sustainment readiness for one of the company’s largest commercial IT programs. He brings over 20 years of experience across technology, enterprise transformation, Agile leadership, and global delivery.
He’ll walk through the silent barriers that can slow down the climb, the moments that break most people, and the things he wishes more Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches understood earlier.
There will also be time for Q&A, so bring your questions, your friction points, and the part of the climb where you feel stuck.
At the end of the session, there will be a raffle draw, and the winner will receive a 1-hour mentorship session with André, focused on their career climb, current barriers, and one concrete next step for the next 90 days.
