I think the Scrum Master should teach the managers how to read the Scrum board and understand the progress of the teams. That way, they can still feel like they're in the loop without micromanaging.

Haha, good luck getting managers to let go of control! This is going to be a tough transition for them. The Scrum Master better have some serious diplomacy skills to convince them to trust the teams.

But what about the managers? Shouldn't they be involved in some way?

I agree, the managers need to let go of control and trust the Scrum teams. The Scrum Master should focus on explaining the Agile mindset and how it's different from traditional management approaches.

The Scrum Master needs to teach the managers that their role in an Agile environment is to be a coach and mentor, not a micromanager. The teams are self-managing, and they need to trust them to get the work done.
