Facilitation and removal of impediments

Each team counts on the help of a facilitator, who works to ensure that the team becomes increasingly effective and focuses on improving the quality of interactions between its members, as well as with other people in the organization.

This facilitator, called the Scrum Master in the framework, is responsible for teaching Scrum to the team and whoever else in the organization deemed necessary to support their work. The Scrum Master can also facilitate meetings and other interactions in the day-to-day operation of the team and works to remove impediments that threaten the goals from being carried out. The facilitator also helps the team understand how to work with greater autonomy and how to manage itself.
