Agile development and many ideas contained in the Scrum framework run counter to traditional product development and people management techniques.
Many managers, directors, human resource people and product managers who need to put together a development team don't fully understand Agile and Scrum concepts like:
Self-managementSelf-organizationIncremental deliveryIterative Sprints
So often when they are buliding out their roster, they don't know what they need, or they think they can optimize by combing accountabilities, leading to what is often called the 'blurred roles anti-pattern.'
The fact is, many organizations don't know what they need, nor do they know how Agile will bring value to them.
One of the jobs of the Scrum Master is to coach organizations on how to implement Scrum and how to implement an Agile transition.
Sometimes that might mean accepting the role of Project Manager/Scrum Master, if only to get inside the organization like a Trojan Horse.
Then, once inside, you coach and educate and promote the proper adoption of Agile and educate others on how Scrum should work and how not blending roles can actually make the organization more productive.
