The Importance of a Scrum Master
A scrum master is responsible for the overall facilitation of the agile development team.
The general benefit expected from having a scrum master on a team is providing a self-organizing team with ongoing access to someone who has used agile, and scrum in particular in another setting and can help the team figure out the best way to apply it in their situation.
Another expected benefit is that the scrum master is someone that can address distractions, disruptions, and obstacles so that the remainder of the team is free to focus on the work of producing output that will generate the desired outcome.
- A skilled Scrum Master has an in-depth understanding of the software delivery processes of the organization and knows how to implement the steps needed for bringing products to the market.

- A Scrum Master understands the importance of other agile approaches such as XP, Kanban, Lean, etc.
