Scrum Master

In the Scrum Process, this is the person responsible for keeping the team following the process. This is somewhat similar to a Project Manager role. However, because Scrum asks the team to organize itself, this person may or may not be the perceived "leader" in a given Sprint.

The Scrum Master is the team member responsible to interface with the world outside the Scrum Sprint, and to remove/resolve blockages that impede the team's work within the Scrum Sprint.

Also, term used for a graduate of the Scrum Master Certification program.
