In this comprehensive article, Christiann Verwijs dispels various misconceptions around the Scrum Master role. He explores the similarities to a Junior Agile Coach (one that focuses on the team as the Agile Coach focuses on the organization); the 8 stances of the Scrum Master (impediment remover, facilitator, coach, teacher, servant leader, manager, change agent, and mentor); how SM deals with "senior" challenges - or how it manages upward; how it exists in non-scrum agile environments; and how organizations can employ them as agents of continuos change.
