Scrum roles in depth
Know what each Scrum accountability does.
📖 Key ideas
- Product Owner: orders the backlog, clarifies items, accepts work.
- Scrum Master: facilitates events, removes blockers, coaches the organisation.
- Developers: plan the sprint, build the increment, own quality.
- No hierarchy inside the team; they collaborate.
- Stakeholders give feedback at Sprint Review.
💡 Real-life example: The Product Owner is the captain choosing the destination; the Scrum Master is the coach; developers are the crew rowing.
