Scrum Master #Interview Trap Question “Your team says they don’t need a Scrum Master anymore. How do you respond?” ❌ 80% of candidates fail here. They talk about ceremonies. They talk about Jira. They talk about “removing blockers.” That’s not leadership. That’s logistics. ✅ The real answer? You show that your role evolves as the team matures. Early on, you facilitate. Later, you coach. Eventually, you step back — shifting leadership to the team, while quietly protecting outcomes. Great Scrum Masters don’t cling to relevance. They build self-sufficient, outcome-focused teams. And when asked if you’re still needed? You should smile and say: “I’ve done my job so well… they almost don’t notice I’m still leading.” See the evolution of #ScrumMaster in 4 stages 👇 (Link in the comment section below)
