A new hire thinks the library-consortium digital-services Scrum Master replaces the Release Train Engineer on that ART. What distinction should the coach make?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Same ART, different altitude. The library Team Coach works the team and collaborates across teams; the RTE still coaches the train. One person filling both seats is a staffing accident, not the model.
Full Explanation
An advanced Scrum Master / Team Coach does not replace the Release Train Engineer. The SM/TC coaches the Agile Team, facilitates team events, and collaborates across teams to improve workflow on the ART. The RTE remains the servant leader who coaches the train and facilitates ART-level events. Absorbing Product Owner content ownership or treating the roles as interchangeable blurs those accountabilities and recreates a single-hero program manager.
