Responsibilities:

Standups: Facilitate daily standups (or the daily scrum) as needed.

Many scrum practitioners oppose 1on1, believing these communications should happen during standups.

The scrum master may decide that these individual interactions are crucial for team development and getting to know one another.
Internal Consulting: Consult with team members and internal stakeholders on how best to work with the scrum team.
Reporting: Regular analysis of burndown charts and other portfolio planning tools to understand what gets built and at what cadence.

Required Skills:

Leadership: Must exhibit leadership qualities without being authoritative. Should lead by serving the team and facilitating their self-organization.
Effective communication: Clear and transparent communication is crucial. Ensure all team members and stakeholders understand the project''s status, goals, and obstacles.
Empathy: It is essential to understand and empathize with the team''s challenges. Need to support and motivate team members during difficulties.
Problem-solving: Scrum masters often deal with impediments and conflicts. They must be adept at problem-solving and finding solutions to keep the team on track.
Adaptability: Should be adaptable and open to change. Need to adjust to the evolving needs of the team and the project.
Facilitation skills: The ability to effectively facilitate meetings and scrum ceremonies is vital. Ensure these events run smoothly and focus on the intended outcomes.
Coaching and mentoring: Coach and mentor team members in agile and scrum principles, helping them continually improve.
Technical knowledge: While not mandatory, having a technical background can be beneficial, especially when working with development teams. It allows to better understand the technical challenges faced by the team.
Time management: Must manage time effectively to keep the team on schedule and meet sprint goals.
