Can a Product Owner be the Scrum Master for a team? |
|
Answer» The Product Owner cannot be the Scrum Master for the delivery team. Both the Scrum Master and Product Owner are a full-time job and require strenuous efforts to fulfill their responsibilities. ALSO, the TWO have conflicting goals, as a scrum master, you will always try to help the team commit the optimum number of items as per the capacity but the product owner will just focus on delivering the maximum WORK. Also, the product owner is responsible for delivery but the Scrum master is not. In a case where a product owner plays a scrum master role, the scrum values and agile practices will take a BACK seat. The team becomes more pressurized to deliver the backlog items. The scrum master role is more on the process side and the product owner is TOWARDS the business end, mixing both the roles misbalances the transformation journey. |
