A successful Scrum Master actively contributes to organizational matters, increases transparency on both problems and solutions, and bridges the gap between roles. At the team level, the signal is clear: if people feel safe enough to approach you with their problems, if they speak freely in team events without fear of blame, if they can raise risks before the last day of the sprint — that's success. But Efe is honest about how hard this is to maintain.
