The Scrum Team

There are three fundamental roles in Scrum: the Product Owner, the Scrum Master, and the Scrum Team.

  • Following a negotiation with the Product Owner, selects the goal of the sprint;
  • Organizes itself and its work;
  • Plans and executes the tasks identified during the Sprint Planning Meeting;
  • Determines the appropriate methods of delivering on their commitments;
  • Presents the resulting work to the Product Owner.
