Hey John. Thanks for the comment. I see your points. Related to this kind of role that we are talking about is essential to be included on each part of the team's routine, and possibly even be part of the development team (why not?).

About the Scrum Master role, I think that is natural to see the Agile Coach as an evolution of this role to be more connected to the well being of the team. My concern related to this is that to be an Agile Coach you need to have the talent to build interpersonal relationships, what is not an easy thing to learn.

I'm focused in to post other two texts this week related to this part of the role (Team domain and Personal domain), with the focus in leadership, agile teams and one-on-one meeting.

Let me know if I lost something in your questions and thanks again man :)

Good point, I see your concern. While I agree that it is not easy to learn, it still feels like a Scrum Master could benefit so much from this skill in helping the team. Maybe this should be the new Scrum Master the developer world needs.

I'm really looking forward to your next posts, thanks for sharing!
