Responsibilities of the ScrumMasters:

The responsibilities of the ScrumMasters can be summarized as follows:

  • Remove the barriers between development and the Product Owner so that the Product Owner directly drives development.

  • Teach the Product Owner how to maximize ROI and meet his or her objectives through Scrum.

  • Improve the lives of the development team by facilitating creativity and empowerment.

  • Improve the productivity of the development team in any way possible.

  • Improve the engineering practices and tools so that each increment of functionality is potentially shippable.

  • Keep information about the team’s progress up-to-date and visible to all parties.
