Sort of. It is not so much as a scam as a business opportunity that got filled because management tends to be non technical. If you have technical managers who actually can write documents or technical program managers/system engineers who can talk with customers in more detail, you don't need scrum or scrum masters. Non technical managers are the ones that are actually waste time being essentially human APIs between product managers and developers, and use scrum masters to actually do the "engineering" with getting work planned, done, and tracked.

> nd use scrum masters to actually do the "engineering" with getting work planned, done, and tracked. I've yet to see scrum masters do that though. In all of the many teams I've worked at, the tasks you list were performed by product manager. Scrum master's only responsibility was organizing the retrospective. Other than that, they just hang on all our calls and contribute nothing at all.
