Scrum Masters talk about enabling teams, fostering agility, and removing blockers. But here’s the real question—are you accountable for delivery?
Too many see Scrum Masters as facilitators, shielding teams from pressure. That’s missing the point. If a Scrum Team isn’t delivering, the Scrum Master is accountable for improving the effectiveness of the Scrum Team so that they can deliver.
Not because they write code. Not because they own the backlog. But because it’s their job to create the conditions where delivery happens—every sprint.
If the team is stuck, who fixes it?
If delivery is slow, who addresses the constraints?
If the system is broken, who makes it better?
That’s the accountability of a Scrum Master. It’s not about doing the work—it’s about making sure the work gets done effectively.
If your teams aren’t delivering, shouldn’t someone be accountable for that?
