I am 100% on board with you there.  I actually agreed with the statement th=
at if someone were fulfilling all of the items on that job description, it =
made no sense to call them scrum master.  Mostly because nothing that they =
do is a job of a scrum master.  It=E2=80=99d be like a guy who cuts down tr=
ees and turns them into lumber to allow people to build things called himse=
lf a plumber.  The job description just doesn=E2=80=99t match the title.

I also have been concerned with the corruption of Agile for quite some time=
..  And I agree that agile is a spirit as opposed to a collection of princip=
les and values, although they do well to inform how one can achieve that sp=
irit.

Funny how the distributed teams aspect took over this thread. It is such a =
minor part of what I think are much bigger issues with the job posting.=C2=
=A0

To me, agile is more than the principles and values. It is a spirit. That s=
pirit can be present in a distributed team. It=E2=80=99s not ideal. It=E2=
=80=99s harder to do. But still possible.=C2=A0

Again, it=E2=80=99s the corruption of agile that s my concern.=C2=A0

Are you =E2=80=9Cdoing agile wrong=E2=80=9D if you have a distributed team?=
=C2=A0 Of course not. =C2=A0But you are choosing to make a compromise that =

My apologies Scott - I misread your 'I am doing Agile wrong' message as bei=
