The roles of a Scrum Master and a Project Manager are different in terms of their focus, responsibilities, and how they operate within a team or organization. Here’s a breakdown of the key differences.

In Scrum, the Daily Stand-up (Daily Scrum) is a short, time-boxed meeting (usually 15 minutes) where the Development Team synchronizes work and plans for the next 24 hours. While the Scrum Master does not lead the stand-up, they play a crucial supporting role.


🧭 1. Facilitator, Not Manager

  • Ensures the meeting starts on time, stays within time-box, and remains focused.

  • Helps the team stay on track, avoiding status-reporting to the Scrum Master.


🛠️ 2. Removes Impediments

  • Listens for blockers raised during the meeting.

  • Works outside of the stand-up to remove those impediments promptly.

  • Follows up with individuals or external teams if needed.


🧘 3. Promotes Self-Organization

  • Encourages the team to own the meeting and drive the conversation.

  • Supports a team-driven format where members talk to each other, not to the Scrum Master.


👂 4. Observer and Coach

  • Observes team dynamics and communication patterns.

  • Coaches individuals or the entire team after the meeting if needed to improve collaboration or effectiveness.


🚧 5. Protects the Stand-up

  • Shields the meeting from outside interruptions or observers who disrupt the flow.

  • Prevents the discussion from going off-topic or turning into problem-solving sessions (which should be taken offline).


✅ 6. Encourages Continuous Improvement

  • Uses insights from the stand-up to suggest improvements in the retrospective.

  • Promotes transparency and accountability within the team.
