 We’ve recently transitioned to Agile and Scrum practices in our software company. Our development teams are organized into squads, each with its own Product Owner and Scrum Master.

I’d like to better understand:

What are the responsibilities and role of an Agile Delivery Manager in ensuring products are delivered with value and quality?

How does this role typically interact with different stakeholders in an Agile environment?

And could anyone share an overview or example of how a RACI matrix would look in this context?

Anyone within an organisation can demonstrate servant leadership, even when their roles do not align with Scrum accountabilities. This might include for example:

  • putting team members ahead of themselves,
  • faciliitating teams' ability to self-manage as far as possible, and
  • helping to expedite deep organizational change

Such roles & responsibilities are usually regulated by this or that internal framework/methodology. I'd start looking for clues there.
