# 2.2.3. And what about the HOW?

In Agile working, answering the question of HOW to work is largely up to the team. However, since we bring a lot of different perspectives together (talking about cross-functional teams), tension within the team is to be expected—and that is a good thing! As long as it stays productive. This is where another type of Accountability comes in. This Accountability is typically called the Scrum Master, taken from one of the most famous frameworks: Scrum. The Scrum Master helps the team by facilitating decision-making processes and supports the team in finding the right way for them to work and to use the frameworks that help them. The person that takes on this Accountability therefore serves as a methodical guide, sparring partner, facilitator, coach, or trainer—whatever is needed by the team or the organization in order to remove obstacles (shortage of resources, formalities that impede the team, etc.) and become as effective as possible.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.lawfirm-operations.org/publications-and-articles/agile-law-firm-workbook/2.-people-2.1.-culture/2.2.-roles-and-accountabilities/2.2.1.-introduction-to-accountabilities/2.2.2.-lets-start-with-the-what/2.2.3.-and-what-about-the-how.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
