Firlit highlights a pivotal moment in her journey: recognizing Scrum's ability to respond to market changes and customer needs, previously overlooked in traditional project management approaches. This realization initiated discussions about adopting new methodologies within her organization.

Lastly, she advises aspiring Scrum Masters to focus on the broader organizational context and product ownership, emphasizing the need to understand and respond to complexity, market changes, and technology advancements. She recommends thinking beyond team effectiveness and tool usage to include organizational agility and product outcomes.
