They coach their teams to higher levels of maturity by continually improving their process, and ensuring that they adhere to the Agile framework. They lead efforts to get Agile training for all members of their team (Product Owners, designers, copywriters, campaign analysts). They serve as the Agile framework authority for their teams and evangelize and educate their teams on, not only the process, but the benefits of following the process.
