In Brazil, particularly in São Paulo's growing tech industry, the term 'Scrum Master' is often retained in English despite the availability of Portuguese translation 'Mestre de Scrum'. This reflects the international nature of Agile methodology and tech culture. However, in more traditional corporate environments and in Portugal, the Portuguese translation is preferred. The role has become increasingly important as Brazilian companies adopt Agile methodologies.
