ATS keywords for a scrum master resume

The most important ATS keywords for a scrum master resume are the frameworks named exactly (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe), the ceremonies you facilitate (sprint planning, retrospectives, backlog refinement, daily stand-ups), the delivery metrics you improved (velocity, cycle time, burndown), your toolchain (Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps), and certifications spelled out — CSM, PSM, SAFe Scrum Master.

Scrum master screening keys on certifications (CSM/PSM are literal filter terms) and on evidence you improved delivery, not just ran meetings. Quantify the team-level change: "cut average cycle time from 9 to 4 days across 2 squads" or "raised sprint predictability from 60% to 90% commitment hit-rate". Facilitation without a metric reads as ceremony administration.
