Why do you need a Scrum Master?
In today's world where every other person wants to be a Scrum Master do we really know why a Scrum Master is required.
There is no doubt Scrum is the most popular and widely implemented framework. Below are my views regarding why a Scrum Master is required and an essential part of a Scrum Team.
- A Scrum Master as the name suggests is supposed to be the subject matter expert as far as implementation of Scrum is concerned.
- They guide the entire team including Product Owners, Developers and Stakeholders to understand the Scrum practices.
- A Scrum Master is famous for wearing 8 different hats namely: Servant Leader, Facilitator, Coach, Manager, Mentor, Teacher, Impediment Remover, and Change Agent.
- They are responsible for instilling the suggested Scrum values in a Scrum Team which helps differentiate between professional scrum and mechanical scrum.
- They act as true servant leaders always putting the needs of their Team ahead of everything else.
