The Scrum Master is a servant-leader role in Scrum responsible for ensuring the Scrum framework is understood and enacted. In backlog grooming sessions, the Scrum Master facilitates the meeting, keeps it within the timebox, ensures engagement, and follows the agenda. They also schedule the sessions and manage action items afterward.
