This document discusses the role and responsibilities of a ScrumMaster. It notes that the term "self-organizing team" is often misunderstood and misused. An effective ScrumMaster acts as a coach, facilitator, and change agent. They are responsible for continuous improvement of the team's process and product. They also help grow the team's skills and maturity over time by progressively delegating responsibilities and ensuring alignment with goals. An integrated model of ScrumMaster duties includes setting boundaries, developing skills, addressing team dynamics and individual issues, and helping build a cohesive team identity.
