A fractional Scrum Master, embedded in your agency.
SprintScale is an outsourced Scrum Master for agencies that run delivery in Jira or ClickUp. We don't just set up your workspace and leave. We run it every week: daily async blocker checks, structured sprint planning, a strict Definition of Done, and clear reporting to leadership.
What a fractional Scrum Master actually does.
Not advice from the sidelines. We take over sprint execution inside your tools, so founders and PMs stop chasing updates.
Works inside your workspace
We operate in your existing Jira or ClickUp: your boards, your projects, your team. No new tool to learn.
Clears blockers daily
Every day we review the board asynchronously, flag stalled or blocked cards, and tag the owner before a delay becomes a missed deadline.
Runs the sprint rhythm
Backlog grooming, top priorities set each week, and a short sync to lock them in, with a 1-minute Loom recap in Slack.
Holds a Definition of Done
A strict, shared standard. Finished work is reviewed before it reaches client QA.
Automates status updates
Basic status triggers on Starter; Zapier and Make automations across Slack, Jira, and forms on Embedded Lead.
Reports to leadership
A weekly text or Loom exec summary, plus velocity and burndown reports on Embedded Lead.
When delivery depends on someone chasing it.
Growing agencies usually hit the same wall: the work is good, but keeping it moving falls on the founder or a stretched PM.
hours a weekFounders and PMs can lose 10+ hours a week chasing task updates in Slack instead of leading.
Status lives in Slack
Updates are scattered across DMs and threads instead of on the board.
Bottlenecks surface too late
Blocked work goes unnoticed until the deadline is already at risk.
The backlog is a junk drawer
Vague tickets, unclear priorities, and no shared definition of "done."
Deadlines slip, margin shrinks
Missed dates turn into rework and unhappy clients.
Your week with a fractional Scrum Master.
A fixed routine you can plan around. Here is exactly where the hours go on each plan.
Fractional Scrum Master vs. a full‑time hire.
A full-time Scrum Master or PM makes sense when you need someone 40 hours a week. Until then, a fractional one gives you the rhythm without the headcount.
| SprintScale (fractional) | Full-time hire | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost structure | Flat monthly plans, published on our pricing page | Full-time salary, benefits, and management overhead |
| Time commitment | ~2.5 hrs/wk (Starter) or ~5 hrs/wk (Embedded Lead) on a fixed cadence | Full-time |
| Getting started | 15-min audit, then a 30-day pilot with a 48-hour workspace build after kickoff | Recruiting, interviewing, and onboarding before work begins |
| Tools | Works inside your existing Jira or ClickUp | Depends on the person you hire |
| Team size | Up to 5 people on 1 board, or up to 12 across multiple projects | Usually justified once delivery needs a dedicated role |
| Reporting | Weekly exec summary; velocity & burndown reports on Embedded Lead | Varies by person and process |
Two monthly plans, sized to your team.
