El Scrum Master es un líder servicial, un rol transformador, un rol de cambio. Su forma de actuar es indirecta, facilitando en todo momento la autogestión del Equipo Scrum para lograr el Objetivo del Producto. Es invisible porque actúa ayudando al éxito de los demás usando diferentes posturas o formas de actuar, pero presente porque acompaña durante todo el proceso de crecimiento del Equipo Scrum de diversas maneras, ayudando a revelar, pero no necesariamente resolviendo. El Scrum Master brinda servicios a todo el Equipo Scrum y la Organización. Lo importante del Scrum Master no es que hace sino como lo hace. Un Scrum Master es exitoso cuando el Equipo Scrum es exitoso.
