Explanation

The Scrum Master is a management role, but not in the traditional hierarchical sense. Rather than managing people, the Scrum Master manages the Scrum process - ensuring it is understood, enacted correctly, and continuously improved. They are a servant-leader responsible for removing impediments, facilitating events, and coaching the team and organization. This process management responsibility is what qualifies the role as managerial.
