Each role plays a unique and crucial part in the successful implementation of Scrum, and understanding these roles is key to leveraging the full potential of the Scrum methodology.

The Scrum Master

The Scrum Master is a servant-leader for the Scrum Team, responsible for promoting and supporting Scrum.

They do this by helping everyone understand Scrum theory, practices, rules, and values.

The Scrum Master ensures that the team adheres to Scrum theory and practices, facilitating Scrum events as needed, and removing impediments that could obstruct the team's progress.

The Product Owner

The Product Owner is a key role in the Scrum development process.

They work closely with stakeholders to create a vision for the product and communicate this vision to the Scrum team.

The Product Owner is responsible for ensuring the success of the project, managing and optimizing the product backlog, and making key decisions when needed.

The Development Team

The Development Team consists of professionals who work together to design, build, test, and deliver the product.

They are responsible for delivering a potentially releasable Increment of the product at the end of each Sprint, ensuring that it meets the Definition of Done and provides value to the customers and stakeholders.
