I’m sure the role is meant to have some sort of value, but in the last decade I’ve only seen one human do a good job of it.
That person delivered value to the team and made a tangible difference to velocity (removing blockers) and effectiveness (retros, reminding people to apply lessons learned). As a consequence the team worked well and delivered good things.
The other Scrum Masters I’ve worked with seemed to operate on the assumption that having Master in their job title meant they knew more than everyone else.
