The document discusses the role of the Scrum Master in an Agile software development project using Scrum. It describes the Scrum Master as responsible for ensuring the Scrum process is understood and followed, helping the development team improve productivity by removing impediments, and enabling close cooperation across roles. The Scrum Master facilitates meetings like the daily scrum, sprint planning and retrospective. Their goal is to maximize the team's throughput by guiding but not dictating to the self-organizing team.

THE THREE PILARSTRANSPARENCY to share a vision and create visibilityensures that aspects of the process that affect the outcome must be visible, agreed and shared to those managing the outcomes.INSPECTION to react rapidlyThe various aspects of the process must be inspected frequently enough so that unacceptable variances in the process can be detected.ADAPTATION to respond more accurately to the needsAn adjustment must be made as quickly as possible to minimize further deviation if one or more aspects of the process are outside acceptable limits, and that the resulting product will be unacceptable 23 February 2010Agile Mëtteg - Who is the Scrum Master?6Source: SCRUM GUIDE By Ken Schwaber, May, 2009
