Scrum Master: Guide, Mentor, and Facilitator
Scrum Master: Guide, Mentor, and Facilitator
The Scrum Master is a key figure in any Agile team.
But what do they really do? And why are they not a project manager?
🎯 Key Responsibilities
🔹 Accountable for the success of the Scrum team
🔹 Supports Product Owner and Dev Team in working effectively
🔹 Ensures everyone follows Scrum practices properly
🔹 Coordinates activities, removes blockers, and fosters communication
🔹 Acts as a coach and mentor for Scrum values and principles
🔹 Leads retrospectives to improve collaboration and processes
🧠 Not a Project Manager
Yes, some tasks may seem similar.
But the Scrum Master does not manage the project directly.
👉 They are a team coach, not a boss.
📎 Link to other roles
Just like REST and GraphQL are different ways to handle resources,
Scrum Masters and Project Managers pursue similar goals… with very different approaches.
