Skills of a Scrum Master

 * Servant: Scrum Master is a servant first, who serves his team members before considering about himself

Responsibilities

 * Control scrum processes:
 * Remove impediments:
 * The Scrum Master removes any impediments that obstruct a team’s pursuit of its sprint goals.
 * If developers don’t have a good sense of what each other are doing, the Scrum Master helps them set up a physical task-board and shows the team how to use it.
 * If developers aren’t colocated, the Scrum Master ensures that they have team room.
 * If outsiders interrupt the team, the Scrum Master redirects them to the Product Owner.
 * If the team has not learned how to develop a potentially shippable product increment every Sprint, the Scrum Master teaches them Test Driven Development (TDD), or finds people who can teach them.
 * If the existing code is so bad that it slows down new development, the Scrum Master helps the team learn how to pay off technical debt incrementally.
