Day 17 / 100 · Scrum done right · The Scrum Master role

Coach, not secretary.

The Scrum Master is accountable for the team's effectiveness. They serve three groups, and administration isn't one of them.

The team

Self-Management

Coaches the team to manage itself, remove its own blockers and focus on value.

The Product Owner

Backlog And Goals

Helps with product goals, backlog techniques and stakeholder collaboration.

The organisation

System Blockers

Leads adoption and removes blockers the team can't fix on its own.
