and whether you're known within the Agile community, so if you're on the conference circuit, have lots of documented history of coaching successful agile projects then you can command a high rate.

Just read a book and was a scrum master on a few projects - then £500-750* depending upon industry and location.

*day rate

£500-750 in the Canary Wharf area, I would target the banking sector. A lot of the banks are going through Agile transformations at the moment. The banking sector tried implementing Agile many years ago but it didnt work out. They were not able to accept the cultural change and as a result dropped the idea.

They're trying again now. They've got buy-in from people higher up in the organisation chart and identified core reasons why they want to go Agile. I Myself am a Scrum Master and I know how much Agile skils are in demand. A friend of mine is a CSM, CSP, CSC and he's now working in Canary Wharf for banks.

I've worked with a relatively well known agile/scrum project manager. He speaks at conferences, has a book out, runs an agile blog.

He is also the single most useless project manager I've ever known, and was on great rates as a contractor.

You rate him highly then?
