Why there is no project manager and no agile product manager? |
|
Answer» It’s true that SCRUM doesn’t define any project manager or agile product manager role, it only mentions three roles – development TEAM, scrum master and the product owner. Each of them has their own boundaries and responsibilities. But, even before the delivery team starts working on the product, there is a lot to do like, team formation, procurement, risk MANAGEMENT, etc. these are not mentioned in any of the three roles defined. So yes, even in agile development, we do have a project manager who takes care of all these things and ensures SMOOTH startup of the teams. Even scaledagileframework.com talks about the EVOLVING role of managers in Lean-Agile development. Like the project manager, the agile product manager role also exists, it is the same as the usual product owner role, and it is just how you want to address it. The role and responsibilities are the same because it’s just another name for a product owner. |
