Teams are more effective when they have more control over how to do their work and in what order. This is the essence of "self-management", and it is critical to Scrum teams and other kinds of Agile teams. Self-managing teams are central to Scrum and other Agile methodologies. Teams need high autonomy in complex environments, like product development.

A good Scrum Master is like a Swiss army knife, able to adapt to any situation and provide the team with the tools it needs to succeed. A Scrum Master that focuses solely on Scrum event facilitation to ensure they “follow the rules,” and start and end on time is like a chef trying to prepare a gourmet meal using just one ingredient. Yes, Scrum events are important, but they are just one part of the Scrum Master accountability.

When organizations set out to adopt Agile, they always have a business reason. It’s never just because they really love Scrum, or SAFe, or LeSS. But when the teams start doing all the Agile things, and they’re met with resistance from the organization around them, it’s hard to point to success because not much changed. So, we start defining success as “do the roles and ceremonies exist and are we following all the Agile dogma.
