A Scrum Center trains, coaches, mentors, and audits project teams. The Scrum Center consists of trained, experienced ScrumMasters who are responsible for Scrum's effectiveness. Every team strives to get the most benefits from Scrum. Each team's ScrumMaster is responsible for leading them to a point where Scrum is working effectively. However, the ScrumMaster and the team often get so embroiled in their work that they lose perspective on themselves. For this purpose, having an audit capability is useful. Someone who knows Scrum and is from outside the team needs to have a way to measure how well the team is using Scrum. Some teams can be doing great but quantify less acurately than other teams. The feel, smell, and general sense of an expert outsider as of how the team is doing should confirm, or even drive, the quantification.
