A ScrumMaster
I believe I heard this story from Ken Schwaber. I’m not sure.
Once there was a team who wanted a bullpen environment, but the Furniture Police wouldn’t let them tear down the cubicles. That was an impediment to the team. The ScrumMaster came in over a weekend with tools, took down the cubicles, and made a bullpen. On Monday, he or she said that if the cubicles came back, they would have to fire her. Impediment removed.

Brilliant! That’s exactly the kind of scrum master I aspire to be ;-)
