Dynamic between product owner and scrum master
What are we going to do today? What are we going to deliver tomorrow what impediments are obstacles are in no way answering some basic questions as a team that then helps us go away and fulfill our respective roles on that given project? So the idea of coming together in a scrum if you will. Could you take just a moment to comment on the importance of team dynamics in agile projects? I think our job is absolutely.
Related to team sport that the thinking behind agile is very supportive of people. Very supportive of collaboration very supportive of all the things that we would relate to human touch with a human element of working together. So it doesn’t negate process or minimize it. It doesn’t negate structure management or leadership or hierarchy doesn’t take those concepts and say they’re irrelevant are not needed but what it does do it actually puts the light a little more on the idea of people need to work together and people on the team have to take on the same level of responsibility and accountability and even transparency.
As everyone else on the team so I might be your manager on the team and I might be responsible to lead the engagement but US my team member who is fulfilling a role has the same level of transparency for the work you’re doing as I do and that’s not really the kind of thinking you’ll find on traditional development teams organizations.
And that’s the other thing about agile his really raise the bar on transparency and accountability within teams and what people really are and are not capable of doing. In addition, Alex speak a moment about how agile development teams are structured. Therefore, when you look at the structure of an agile team you typically have some common roles.
The most common rule on an agile team is a role that that is called scrum master. The idea that a person who is leading the scrum that team. They are the master of this team there the leader so their responsibility is to bring. Thinking the learning the agile discipline and practices to the rest of the team. In some respects they operate a little bit as a mentor as coach. And other respects they operate as a project manager or a program manager but really what they’re there to do in that management capacity is ensure that the practices and principles of agile that this team has adopted. Are being implemented in used correctly so that is the most common role that you will see the other role that is very common is actually represented on the business side.
So let us say I am the I. T. project team for Europe new financial application. In addition, you are the financial department and you know my customer. You are gonna sign somebody called a product owner. Therefore, the product is doing well the role of the person from the business side that interfaces with me as the scrum master and our relationship is day to day making sure that both the requirements and expectations of the business.
Are being met and I am making sure that your expectations are being fulfilled on the I. T. side so it is this dynamic between product owner and scrum master that you’ll see as the most.
