Agile processes are characterized

by high dynamics. To ensure that the

process runs in a targeted manner and

that dynamics do not turn into chaos, I

exist. I am, so to speak, the soul of the

process and I take care that the rules

are respected.

What the scrum master DOES NOT do

• Assuming the role of the boss for the
  team.


• Manage the project in the sense that it
  determines who has to do which work
  and in which way.
