The Scrum Master Community at AXA: Birth and Life of a Collective
summary
A community of practice for Scrum Masters at AXA, started in 2016, now involves about 240 members (≈120 active Scrum Masters) and organizes a monthly meetup, local chapters, weekly 30‑minute help sessions (“guichets”), and annual Scrum Master days. They moved a 3‑hour tool training into short videos on the internal Engineering School, and iterated the community model from V1 → V2 → V2.1 to close gaps; attendance has varied (about 70 then 40 at events) and some chapters have faded, so working groups continue to evolve the format.
