As a Scrum Master, you should avoid adding your own opinion to your team. This is because the more ideas you contribute, the more probable your team’s self-managing will collapse. But the question is, what if you had to talk about your thoughts? In such circumstances, as a Scrum Master, make sure that you allow your team to disagree with you and that you do not make your comment the last word. It just allows developers to begin thinking in more beneficial ways.
It is not always the case that Scrum Master idea is the best or the only one; it is just that it is a recommendation; so, if as a Scrum Master, you need to urge your team in a particular direction when they are thinking about something, do so. However, try to leave some space between what you are saying and the team’s obligation to follow your recommendations.
