The Agile Community Needs You: Join the Scrum Master Salary Report

The purpose of this anonymous survey is to create a clear, data-backed benchmark that allows everyone in the agile community to understand whether their compensation is adequate. (And yes, the report will cover Scrum Masters as well as Agile Coaches, both employed and freelancing.) The goal is to have a sufficient number of replies – that would be at least 1,000 – by the end of November 2022 to create the report in time for January 2023.

The poll for the Scrum Master Salary Report 2023 covers the following categories of questions and will take about 5 minutes to complete:

  1. Personal information: Please provide your personal information. We’re aware of generally existing discrimination at the compensation level in the tech industry. Does it apply to our industry, too?
  2. Professional background: What educational and professional background do you have? (Given that there is no formal education for our profession, this information can provide career patterns.)
  3. Industry: What industry are you working for? (We expect the IT as well as the finance industry to pay the highest remunerations. Also, larger organizations might pay better than smaller companies for the same position. Please help to verify the hypotheses.)
  4. Your current position: Please help us understand what you consider your current position to be — Scrum Master or Agile Coach —, and how it compares to your peers‘ jobs. Our particular interests are the agile fluency state of your current organization, the size of the product delivery organization, and the length of your tenure.
  5. Prior and current work experience: This section covers your working experience with Agile practices.
  6. Current salary or remuneration: Finally, the last question: What is your income as a Scrum Master or Agile Coach? To be able to compare entries, you will need to normalize your answer, for example, convert your salary to US-$ – based on the current exchange rate –, if you are not paid in US currencies.

  • Hello, I am very interested in Scrum Master salary reports and encourage you to continue with the established practice of publishing them yearly.
    There is one thing that is unclear in the description for the question 'Current salary or remuneration'. More precisely, it is not stated in the questionary whether you are interested in salary before or after taxes.
