The candidate is experienced in people management, in her commercial practice she worked as a project analyst for 4 years, later she held the role of project manager for 2 years and for the last year she has been leading people as a Scrum Master. As a Scrum Master, she is the SM in Time Mobile Applications, where she has a total of 6 business and 23 IT colleagues. She is responsible for both the delivery of projects that go to their team and also for leading the team according to agile approaches - it's such a combination, maybe not quite standard compared to other Scrum Master positions. Part of her allocation is also for teamleading activities (HR - motivation, remuneration, interviews, holidays, etc.). She has also encountered other agile methodologies such as Kanban and XP. Communication in English language is not a problem for her and she can get along.
