Abstract: Career paths are rarely linear — and mine began with coincidences that led to curiosity, learning, and ultimately a shift into Agile leadership. In this talk, I share how studying Computer Science and starting in IT support unexpectedly brought me into a SAFe environment — where I discovered Scrum mastery as a meaningful profession. I reflect on the challenges of guiding teams through change, building confidence, and fostering empathy. And I explore what happens when we stay open: to new ideas, new roles, and new growth. My aim is to encourage others to trust the process — and take action even when the path isn’t fully clear.
Speaker: Vukica Stojkovic is a Scrum Master working in a SAFe environment with a background in Computer Science (M.Sc.). Her career path started in IT support, where a coincidence opened the door to Agile ways of working — and quickly turned into a professional passion. She focuses on building teams that collaborate effectively, communicate openly, and continuously improve. With a strong interest in Agile leadership and human-centric teamwork, she combines technical understanding with facilitation skills and an empathetic approach. She enjoys helping teams grow towards autonomy and confidence, while creating a positive, supportive work culture.
