Sure! In Scrum, there are three key roles, each with specific responsibilities. These roles work together to ensure smooth product development and delivery. ?
* The visionary and decision-maker responsible for maximizing the product's value.
* Defines and communicates the product vision.
* Maintains and prioritizes the Product Backlog.
* Ensures the development team works on high-value tasks.
* Engages with stakeholders (customers, business, management) for feedback.
* Accepts or rejects work based on the Definition of Done.
Example : A Product Owner for an e-commerce app might prioritize features like “one-click checkout” over minor UI improvements to increase revenue.
* The coach, facilitator, and servant leader who ensures the team follows Scrum principles.
* Removes impediments that slow down the team.
* Facilitates Scrum ceremonies (Daily Scrum, Sprint Planning, Review, Retrospective).
* Ensures the team follows Scrum best practices.
* Shields the team from unnecessary distractions.
* Coaches the team and stakeholders on Agile & Scrum mindset.
Example : If the team is struggling with frequent task switching due to ad-hoc requests, the Scrum Master helps the team focus by enforcing backlog prioritization.
* A cross-functional team responsible for delivering a working product at the end of each sprint.
* Collaborates to plan, develop, test, and deliver the product increment.
* Selects work items for the Sprint Backlog.
* Participates in Daily Scrum to sync progress.
* Delivers a potentially shippable increment at the end of the sprint.
* Continuously improves quality and efficiency.
Example : For a banking app, the development team may include front-end & back-end developers, testers, designers, and DevOps engineers, all working together to deliver secure transactions.
