Why is the scrum master role so important?

A Scrum Master is not directly a member of the team. One can say that they oversee everything from the side and supervise that the work is proceeding as planned, which, in turn, ensures stability and efficiency. Projects related to software development tend to be very complicated. A team must be really well organized so that it can work effectively. The aspect of communication with a client is also important. The lack of Scrum Master's presence could lead to chaos or even emergence of conflict situations, which may threaten the project. In addition, a Scrum Master is a support for the development team. Here’s a simple example. There’s a team that creates a problem resulting from a lack of access to technology or equipment (for example to conduct tests). In this case, the role of a Scrum Master is to respond appropriately and quickly eliminate obstacles. Thanks to their presence, the whole team should feel comfortable when working and they will be sure that the project’s development path is right.

If a software development project runs in accordance with the Scrum methodology, based on agile principles, a Scrum Master’s role will be utterly important - almost invaluable. Thanks to it, you can be sure that the project is going to be implemented efficiently and without any delays or other unforeseen problems. It should also be remembered that being a Scrum Master is a job for a person, who knows not only Agile and Scrum but also has soft skills such as; communication skills, negotiation or conflict resolution. It is also an inseparable element of work.
