Scaling Scrum Masters at a Long-Standing Pharmaceutical Company Founded in 1897
summary
A long-established pharmaceutical company founded in 1897 is expanding Scrum Master capacity for its office workforce after a 2019 partnership with a European bio venture and as part of its 2027 mid-term plan and investor materials. The rollout is bottom-up and concrete: HR-selected participants attend a Scrum Master training course, monthly community support and retrospectives, PDCA cycles, overseas guest Scrum Masters, and navigator roles deployed across 300+ workplaces, with a growing internal community of about 300 on Discord and ongoing evidence collection rather than immediate metrics.
