Mastering Scrum Mastery: Why it cannot be a destination, but a journey

Context drives everything and that is a moving target.
Glance at these aspects showing up in the mind map.
Give it a thought.
Can we obtain complete Mastery of all these?
My friend is a Scrum Master for a Product company which is building a solution e.g. Online HR Reward card product. She was working for last one year and doing pretty well in this assignment. She is the go to a scrum master for this product. She has been exercising all these below skills and She is quite confident about these.
She is Master in this context as a Scrum Master.
She has achieved Mastery in this context.

Last year she has changed the company and joined a new startup company where they are building a product which is online car insurance product which automatically collect tax from credit card from the owner of the car when a car passes through different states in a country. She is the scrum master for that team who is building this solution.
Look into the below circles and levels. As a Scrum Master, She has to continue her journey from Level 1 to Level 5 in all these 8 skills.
She has been previously considered as an expert and recognized in the previous team, She might take less time to reach L5, but she has to take some time to reach mastery as the context has changed.
Her Business context has changed, Market where the product has changed, the Product Owner has changed, the Business dynamic has changed. All these skills have to set in the new context.
All these 8 skills also have to master and tested in the new context.


Every time you come across a new situation, you need to prove that you are not master in initial stages and it will take some time to complete this journey. 
To achieve Mastery in Scrum Master role it takes a journey map which leads to a Destination. Once path changes it takes another journey map to achieve Mastery.
E.g. Scrum Master is a Coach for the team, Look at this mind map, When you will achieve Mastery in all these areas? this is one example of Scrum Master Mastery

As a Master Scrum Master, You are the coach for a Scrum Team,

Look at these below aspects of the mind map, Maybe if you follow all these it will enable you to reduce your journey time and you achieve the destination faster. But destination will change again.


The soft skill building journey is never ending, as the world is evolving , context is also shifting, so we are learning always, on the way to achieve Mastery…
