I&#x27;m not opposed to a dedicated scrum master, but the issue I have is that I have yet to meet one who ever defends the developers&#x27; right to have the agile&#x2F;scrum process respected. Really, they just wind up being another manager that happens to spend a lot of time in Jira. I&#x27;ve butt heads a lot with scrum people who bend over and say &quot;yes&quot; to every single (unreasonable) demand thrown at them from the business side. :&#x27;(
