What are the roles in Scrum?

[kalyan ram.N]

Three essential roles for scrum success. A scrum team has a slightly different composition than a traditional waterfall project, with three specific roles: product owner, scrum master, and the development team.

[1181279905]

In scrum based projects there are mainly three roles: product owner, scrum master and development team. scrum doesn't need a project manager.

[1182459701]

Scrum has three roles:
1)product owner: has the vision of the product and the projects key stakeholder.
2)scrum master:Helps the team build the product by conducting meetings, removing impediments and working with product owners.
3)development team: builds and develops the product

[1181278605]

SCRUM has three roles=

1.product owner= he will decide what need to be in the product and he will responsible for how the product has to be. BA can play the role as a product owner.

2. scrum master= he will be the monitor of the project. he mainly look after the project performance. if any issue raised by the team his role is to bring the solution for them.

3. development team= build and developed the software. they take decision on which sprint need to deliver and time frame.

in agile we didn't need any project manager.

The most important three roles of Scrum are

1)Product Owner
2)Scrum Master
3)Development Team

These three roles are coequal and all of them have certain responsibilities.

1)Product Owner :

Product Owner will decide what needs to be in the product  and will be responsible for how the product has to be.

2)Scrum master :

He will monitor the performance of the team within the sprint .Team will raise all their issues to scrum master and he will run to look for  answers .This role can be played by any person in team normally BA s play this role

3)Development Team :
 
Different from other methods, in Scrum a team is not just the executive organ that receives its tasks from the project leader, it rather decides self dependent, which requirements or User Stories it can accomplish in one sprint. It constructs the tasks and is responsible for the permutation of those – the team becomes a manager. This new self-conception of the team and the therewith aligned tasks and responsibilities necessarily change the role of the team leader/project leader. The Scrum Master does not need to delegate all the work and to plan the project, he rather takes care that the team meets all conditions in order to reach the self-made goals.

Scrum is a framework within which people can address complex adaptive problems, while productively and creatively delivering products of the highest possible value.

Scrum itself is a simple framework for effective team collaboration on complex products.  Scrum co-creators Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland have written The Scrum Guide to explain Scrum clearly and succinctly.  This Guide contains the definition of Scrum. This definition consists of Scrum’s roles, events, artifacts, and the rules that bind them together.

Scrum is:

Lightweight
Simple to understand
Difficult to master

[1182198007]

The scrum roles are basically divided into two broad categories, Core Roles and Non-core Roles.
Core Roles

Core roles are those roles which are mandatorily required for producing the project’s product or service. Individuals who are assigned core roles are fully committed to the project and are ultimately responsible for the success of each project iteration and of the project as a whole.

Non-core Roles

Non-core roles are those roles which are not mandatorily required for the Scrum project and may include team members who are interested in the project. They have no formal role in the project team and may interface with the team, but may not be responsible for the success of the project. The non-core roles should be taken into account in any Scrum project.

Core roles include:

The Product Owner

The Product Owner is the person responsible for achieving maximum business value for the project. He or she is also responsible for articulating customer requirements and maintaining business justification for the project. The Product Owner represents the Voice of the Customer.

The Scrum Master

The Scrum Master is a facilitator who ensures that the Scrum Team is provided with an environment conducive to complete the project successfully. The Scrum Master guides, facilitates, and teaches Scrum practices to everyone involved in the project; clears impediments for the team; and, ensures that Scrum processes are being followed.

The Scrum Team

The Scrum Team is the group or team of people who are responsible for understanding the requirements specified by the Product Owner and creating the Deliverables of the project.

 

Non-core roles include:

Stakeholder(s)

Stakeholder(s) is a collective term that includes customers, users, and sponsors, frequently interface with the Scrum Core Team, and influence the project throughout the project’s development. Most importantly, it is for the stakeholders that the project produces the collaborative benefits.

Scrum Guidance Body (SGB)

It is an optional role, which generally consists of a set of documents and/or a group of experts who are typically involved with defining objectives related to quality, government regulations, security, and other key organizational parameters. This SGB guides the work carried out by the Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Scrum Team.

Vendors

Vendors include external individuals or organizations, provide products and/or services that are not within the core competencies of the project organization.

Chief Product Owner

Chief Product Owner is a role in bigger projects with multiple Scrum Teams. This role is responsible for facilitating the work of multiple Product Owners, and maintaining business justification for the larger project.

Chief Scrum Master

Chief Scrum Master is responsible to coordinate Scrum-related activities in large projects which may require multiple Scrum Teams to work in parallel.

Scrum: Scrum is a subset of Agile. It is a lightweight process framework for agile development, and the most widely-used one.

A “process framework” is a particular set of practices that must be followed in order for a process to be consistent with the framework. For example, the Scrum process framework requires the use of development cycles called Sprints, the XP framework requires pair programming.
“Lightweight” means that the overhead of the process is kept as small as possible, to maximize the amount of productive time available for getting useful work done.
A Scrum process is distinguished from other agile processes by specific concepts and practices, divided into the three categories of Roles, Artifacts, and Time Boxes. These and other terms used in Scrum are defined below. Scrum is most often used to manage complex software and product development, using iterative and incremental practices. Scrum significantly increases productivity and reduces time to benefits relative to classic “waterfall” processes. Scrum processes enable organizations to adjust smoothly to rapidly-changing requirements, and produce a product that meets evolving business goals. An agile Scrum process benefits the organization by helping it to
1. Increase the quality of the deliverable
2. Cope better with change
3. Provide better estimates while spending less time creating them
4. Be more in control of the project schedule and state

SCRUM team consists of roughly about 10 members that is, 1 product owner, 1 scrum master and about 7-8 developers. This is the core SCRUM team, whereas during the requirements gathering stage, the external stakeholders shall also take part.
