- The Scrum Master is trained as a Team Facilitator and is continuously engaged in challenging the old norms of development to improve performance in the areas of quality, predictability, flow, and velocity. They help the team focus on creating increments of value each iteration and achieving daily and iteration goals in the context of the current Program Increment (PI) Objectives
- Facilitate team events, including, where applicable, the daily stand-up, iteration planning, iteration review, and iteration retrospective; ensure that they are productive and kept within the timebox

Escalate people problems to management where necessary, but only after internal team processes have failed to resolve the issue; helps individuals
- Maintaining Quality:

- Foster the culture of technical discipline and craftsmanship that is the hallmark of effective Agile teams

- The Scrum Master supports the overall adoption of SAFe across the enterprise by coaching stakeholders and other non-agile teams on effective interactions with agile teams, participating in the Scrum Master Community of Practice, and supporting the organisation’s SPCs
