If you consider manager, product owner, and vice president to be an administrative role - then yes it is an admin role. A good Scrum Master can manage three scrum teams; a great Scrum Master can manage one scrum team. @Saeed – A Scrum Master is a facilitator.

Please nobody believe what's written here. Scrummasters are not valets - they *do not serve* the product owner, by any means. Product Owners must be capable members of the team with their own job to do, primarily around grooming the backlog, answering detailed questions from the team, reviewing and accepting functioning stories, and *ensuring stakeholders get what they want*. If a stakeholder is surprised about what the team built, the Product Owner failed. Scrum Masters need to be very strong about ensuring control and commitment rests with the team, not one person on the team, whether its the architect, Product Owner or anyone else. That said, I also believe every problem belong to the Scrum Master unless they find a more suitable home for it. So I do agree the Scrum Master would address a failed dev box or a overheated room if necessary, but emphasizing that and nothing else in this article is a disservice.

Does he have any role to play there? Is the role only related to developmenet/ production industries, i.e. in a factory or IT? Pardon me for being naive. Interested in knowing the role of a scrum master in the service industry?

Does he have any role to play there?

Is the role only related to developmenet/ production industries, i.e. in a factory or IT?

Pardon me for being naive.
