If you want to learn about Scrum, you’re likely wondering.
Who does what in Scrum?
Clarity about the roles of Scrum and the team's culture are central to success. There are only three roles:
There’s a nice simplicity to having just three roles, but there’s a lot to each of them. As we explore them one at a time, remember to keep the three pillars of Scrum (transparency, inspection, and adaptation) in mind by asking these three questions:
- How does this make things more visible? (Transparency)
- Where does this create space to evaluate? (Inspection)
- When does this encourage growth? (Adaptation)
This article will help you understand the scrum roles by explaining:

A Brief Overview of the Scrum Roles
The Scrum team is made up of three important roles. The roles of the Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Development Team are well-defined in Scrum, and each role has its own set of responsibilities. By working together, the Scrum team can deliver high-quality products that meet the needs of the stakeholders and end-users.
- The Product Owner is responsible for representing the interests of the stakeholders and the end-users. He or she is responsible for creating and maintaining the product backlog, which is a prioritized list of features, bugs, and technical work that needs to be addressed by the development team. The Product Owner works closely with stakeholders to understand their needs and priorities, and ensures that the team is delivering value to the end-users. The Product Owner is also responsible for accepting or rejecting work done by the team.
- The Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring that the Scrum process is followed and the team is working efficiently. He or she serves as a coach and mentor to the team, helping team members to remove any obstacles that may be hindering their progress. The Scrum Master is also responsible for organizing and facilitating meetings, including daily stand-ups, sprint planning, sprint review, and sprint retrospective.
- The Development Team is responsible for delivering high-quality increments of the product at the end of each sprint. It is a self-organizing and cross-functional team that is accountable for delivering the product increment. The team is responsible for estimating the effort required for each item in the product backlog and selecting the Product Backlog Items they can complete within the upcoming sprint. The Development Team collaborates with other teams and stakeholders as needed to deliver the product.
Now let's dive into each Scrum role a little deeper.
Product Owner
The Scrum Product Owner's primary responsibility is to maximize the value delivered to the product. They serve as the inflection point between the development team and stakeholders. Empathy and communication are essential qualities for a product owner. They facilitate numerous conversations internally to focus the product around the needs and desires of the end-user or customer.
They are accountable for the product backlog, ordering all features and functionality by priority and balancing when they will be released over time. The product owner leads the way in setting the vision for the product. At the beginning of the sprint, the Product Owner describes the sprint’s vision and goal to the whole team.
The Scrum Product Owner's primary responsibility is to maximize the value delivered to the product.
At the end of a sprint, the team delivers the increment, which is the next phase of a working product ready to be deployed to the customer. The product owner receives this increment by inspecting it according to the original requirements and the team’s definition of done.
For Scrum teams to be effective, the organization must empower the product owner to make the multitude of decisions that come up during product development. This focus on accountability is one of the features of Scrum that allows teams to more quickly and clearly toward their goal.

Scrum Master
The Scrum Master is a master of process and an empowerer of people. The development team doesn’t report to them, and the Scrum Master doesn’t tell them what to do. The Scrum Master is there to support the team and remove obstacles such as unclear requirements, interpersonal conflict, organizational impediments, and dependencies on other teams.
The Scrum Master focuses on maximizing the impact of the development team. The Scrum Master is always working toward clarity. In many ways, they act as a mirror helping the team see where they are and how things are going.
A servant leader puts others’ needs first. The Scrum Master provides the team with guidance and direction (where and why, but not what and how) to practice Scrum effectively. This guidance allows the team to work with a healthy level of autonomy and agency, and it also ensures the team has the mastery and purpose needed to do their work.
The Scrum Master focuses on maximizing the impact of the development team.
They help the team understand Scrum processes and principles and help everyone in the larger organization who interface with the team. They may host workshops, write best-practices documentation and facilitate many conversations. Developing this awareness and understanding of Scrum cultivates an organization friendly to Scrum teams.

Scrum has a lot of meetings and it can be hard to keep them straight, especially when you're getting started.
The Scrum meeting checklist has all the details you need to run effective Scrum meetings.
Development Team
The development team makes up most of the Scrum team. They turn the user stories in the product backlog into a working increment by the end of the sprint.
A development team is self-organizing, meaning they share leadership and accountability as a team. They don’t report to the Scrum Master or Product Owner. They have significant freedom to identify how to solve the problems and deliver the features which the Product Owner has prioritized.
The ideal development team size is between three and nine people. Less than three, and you don’t get much of the benefit of collaboration or shared momentum. More than nine, and the logistics of coordination start to eat away at the benefits of coordination. The development team is a cross-functional team and includes the skills necessary to get the work done.
The whole team owns the work in the sprint backlog. If something isn’t done, it’s not one person's fault; it’s the entire team's responsibility. The team checks in each day through the Daily Scrum to stay in sync. They also leverage the Sprint Retrospective to evaluate their team functioning and adapt to improve.
Self-organizing teams choose how best to accomplish their work, rather than being directed by others outside the team. Cross-functional teams have all competencies needed to accomplish the work without depending on others not part of the team.

How the Roles Work Together in Scrum
Scrum Master + Product Owner
The Scrum Master and Product Owner are both part of the overall Scrum team. They are working toward the same end goal but often balance each other in navigating the tension of how to get to that goal.
The product owner works with the Scrum Master to look ahead to future sprints, evaluating significant milestones to ensure they will deliver critical features on time. They also check to see if the work needed to get there matches the capacity or velocity of the team. This zooming out to set the road map and zooming in to set the sprint goal helps keep the team both agile and focused.
The product owner leads the way in setting the vision for the product.
The Scrum Master also protects the team’s health by balancing the product owner’s drive to complete the product with the team's long-term effectiveness. They help the team remove obstacles such as unclear requirements, interpersonal conflict, organizational impediments, and dependencies on other teams.
Scrum Master + Dev Team
The Scrum Master helps the Dev Team practice Scrum effectively. This includes understanding and practicing the meetings and elements of Scrum. The Scrum Master doesn’t tell the team what to do each day, and the team decides together during their daily standup. The Scrum Master helps them hold effective daily standups.
The Scrum Master's interactions with the Dev Team may be more hands-on at the beginning, helping them learn and establish the Scrum process. Over time the relationship shifts from instructor to coach.
The relationship between Scrum Master and Deve Team allows the team to work with a healthy level of autonomy and agency, and it also ensures the team has the mastery needed to do their work. The Scrum Master also helps the team remove obstacles such as unclear requirements, interpersonal conflict, organizational impediments, and dependencies on other teams.
Product Owner + Dev Team
At the end of a sprint, the team delivers the increment, which is the next phase of a working product ready to be deployed to the customer. The product owner receives this increment by inspection according to the requirements in the sprint backlog and the team’s definition of done.

Playing Multiple Roles
A common question is, “Can someone on the dev team be the Scrum Master?” or “Can the Product Owner and Scrum Master be the same person? In many organizations, people frequently have multiple roles, especially when you don’t have a person for each Scrum role. Some combinations are a better idea than others.
Here are some multiple role situations I have personally experienced:
- Being a Scrum Master and part of the Development Team
- Being a Scrum Master for multiple teams.
- Being a Product Owner and part of the Development Team
- Being a Scrum Master and Product Owner at the same time.
I put these in order of most to least doable.
Being a Scrum Master and part of the Development Team
This is probably the most common combo I see. Teams often ask, “Can someone on the team just be the Scrum Master?” This combo is very doable, but it depends on the person. Some people are great team contributors but are not good Scrum Masters.
Often, people suggest the type A personality to be the Scrum Master because they seem like the typical leader type. Unfortunately, what usually happens here is that person begins to act like the team's boss, which is not the role of the Scrum Masters.
Being a Scrum Master for multiple teams
This one is also pretty doable, depending on the experience of the teams and the frequency of obstacles you need to help remove. I’ve actually been the Scrum Master for two brand new Scrum teams simultaneously. It was a bit more work at first because so much teaching was going on, though it eventually leveled out once the teams learned their new rhythm.
Being a Product Owner and part of the Development Team
One advantage of this combo is that it can produce a high level of shared understanding between the stakeholders and the team. The biggest downside is that being a Product Owner is a pretty big job. If someone is doing it well, they usually don’t have the capacity to be a full-time dev team member. The team can remedy this tension by adjusting their velocity based on a lower capacity for the person who is also the product owner.
Another challenge is when the product owner wants more done in a sprint than the team's capacity. Having the same person in both roles can remove the balance between the dev team and the product owner.
Being a Scrum Master and Product Owner at the same time.
This combo is the least advisable. It’s certainly possible (I’ve done it), but I don’t think it's good either for the SM/PO or the Dev Team. The Scrum Master protects the team’s health by balancing the product owner’s drive to complete the product with the team's long-term effectiveness.
The Scrum Master also protects the team’s health by balancing the product owner’s drive to complete the product with the team's long-term effectiveness.
When the same person plays both of these roles, they are trying to maintain balance within themself on behalf of the team. Even if someone can represent and hold both perspectives in tension, they must be mindful of how they communicate with the dev team. Are they sharing something from their PO role or their SM role?
Learning More about Roles in Scrum
The three roles of Scrum are simple yet nuanced. Like many roles, they are best learned through repetition and practice.
The Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Development Team each have their own unique set of responsibilities, and by working together, they can deliver high-quality products that meet the needs of the stakeholders and end-users. The Product Owner is responsible for representing the interests of the stakeholders and end-users, the Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring that the Scrum process is followed and the team is working efficiently, and the Development Team is responsible for delivering the product increment.
By learning more about these roles and how they interact with each other, Scrum teams can improve their collaboration, communication, and efficiency, leading to better outcomes for everyone involved. Whether you're new to Scrum or an experienced practitioner, taking the time to learn more about these roles can help you become a more effective member of a Scrum team and drive better results for your organization.

Scrum master certifications
How to get certified as a scrum master?
The most common certifications for a scrum master are:
- CSM Certified Scrum Master from Scrum Alliance.
- PSM Professional Scrum Master from Scrum.org.
The CSM is more common than the PSM but also more expensive. Both offer multiple levels of certification.
You are required to take a class by a certified instructor for the CSM, which will cost you around $1,000. The CSM course includes the test cost and is comparable in difficulty with the PSM test.
The PSM recommends but doesn’t require a course. So you can take the self-study route and then take a cheaper test ($200). This level of affordability can make the scrum.org certifications a more attractive first step for people exploring scrum certifications.
Here is my experience with certifications as a path to growth.
Also be sure to check out the essential Scrum glossary.
Why become a Certified Scrum Master (CSM)?
The best way to learn to be a scrum master is through practice. However, earning a certificate can provide helpful instruction, and some companies list it as a requirement for scrum master roles.
If you're entering the world of scrum or trying to transfer your skills from one domain to another, having a certification like the CSM can help you get in the door.
Here is my experience with certifications as a path to growth.
Want to learn the essential Scrum terms.
How quickly can I become a scrum master?
Unlike the PMP (Project Management Professional), most scrum certifications don’t require experience. There are pros and cons, though. It makes earning the certifications easier but also makes them a little less valuable.
A typical CSM course will last between 3 and 5 days, depending on how much instruction is done each day. The PSM doesn’t require a course, so if you already have a solid understanding of scrum, you can just take the test today.
To really be a Scrum Master your'e going to need practice.

Product owner certifications
How to get certified as a product owner?
Scrum certifications are a great way to both grow and demonstrate your knowledge. The most common certifications for a product owner are:
- CSPO Certified Scrum Product Owner from Scrum Alliance.
- PSPO Professional Scrum Product Owner from Scrum.org.
The CSPO is more common than the PSPO but also more expensive. Both offer multiple levels of certification.
You are required to take a class by a certified instructor for the CSPO, which will cost you around $1,000. There is no test for the CSPO. Completing the class earns you the certification.
The PSPO recommends but doesn’t require a course. So you can take the self-study route and then take a cheaper test ($200). This level of affordability can make the scrum.org certifications a more attractive first step for people exploring scrum certifications.
Here is my experience with certifications as a path to growth.
Also be sure to check out the essential Scrum glossary.
Why become a Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO)?
Like becoming a scrum master, the best way to grow as a product owner is through practice. The CSPO class is helpful as it provides several practical facilitation techniques.
I’ve seen it listed as a requirement for various product owner or product manager roles. It can be beneficial if all other things are equal, but I don’t think it’s a game-changer for landing a PO job.

Comparing certification
CSM vs. CSPO, how do they compare?
If you’re looking for your first scrum certification, the CSM and CSPO are the most common. Both require you to take a class by a certified instructor and cost around $1,000.
- The CSM - Certified Scrum Master requires a test at the end of the course to earn the certificate.
- The CSPO - Certified Scrum Product Owner does not require a test, as completing the course provides you with the certificate.

How does the PMI-ACP compare to other scrum certifications?
The PMI-ACP is in its own class regarding scrum certifications. It requires both documented experience as well as knowledge across multiple agile domains.
The test is long and comprehensive. I would place it as similar difficulty to the PMP as compared to the CSM or PSM.
This certification certainly demonstrates much higher agile and scrum competency. However, I don’t see it listed often on job requirements.
Here is my experience with certifications as a path to growth.
Want to learn the essential Scrum terms or how to pass the PSM exam.
How does the PMP compare to other scrum certifications?
The PMP is kind of the grandfather of project management certifications. It’s a beast of a test and requires memorizing a ton of information. However, it’s rooted primarily in waterfall rather than agile approaches.
Unless you plan to work in a domain where waterfall is dominant, the PMP probably isn’t the best certification option for those getting started in project management, and certainly not for those getting started with scrum.

Scrum certifications
Where should I start with scrum certifications?
Are you looking for a challenge to motivate yourself to learn scrum better? Are you looking to land a specific job?
If you just want to take the next step in learning, the PSM has a low barrier to entry and should open some doors to allow you more opportunities to practice the scrum master role.
If you’re trying to land a job then it really depends on what that job is looking for certification-wise.

Scrum backlog
What is the backlog in Scrum?
There are actually two backlogs, the product backlog and the sprint backlog. They each contain the definitive list of work to be done. The product owner keeps the backlog ordered by priority.
Learn to use the backlog in Scrum and check out the sprint backlog vs product backlog in Scrum.
How are the product backlog and sprint backlog different?
The product backlog prioritizes the features needed in the product. It is a singular visible source of requirements for the product.
The sprint backlog represents the work to do in a given sprint. It is a definitive list of all the scrum team is being asked to produce for the sprint.
Learn more about the sprint backlog vs product backlog in Scrum.
What is a PBI (product backlog item)?
Each item in the backlog represents precise work and value to deliver. Often these PBIs are written using both user stories and acceptance criteria. The PBIs are what gets refined during the backlog refinement session, and if one is too large, it may be broken down into smaller PBIs.
Learn more about how backlogs are used in scrum, the sprint backlog vs product backlog in Scrum and explore the essential Scrum glossary.
What is the Scrum sprint backlog?
The Scrum sprint backlog is a prioritized list of items from the product backlog that the development team plans to complete during the upcoming sprint.
It is a plan for the Sprint and is created during the Sprint Planning meeting where the Development Team decides on how to build the functionality that meets the Sprint Goal. The Sprint Backlog typically includes user stories, bugs, technical work, and other items that the development team needs to work on during the sprint. Each item in the Sprint Backlog has a clear definition of done, so the team knows when the item is considered complete.
The Development Team is responsible for creating and updating their Sprint Backlog throughout the Sprint, making sure they are on track to meet the Sprint Goal. The Sprint Backlog is a working document that helps the Development Team visualize their progress and make any necessary adjustments to their plan as they go along. The Sprint Backlog is also transparent, allowing stakeholders to see what work is being done during the Sprint.
Learn more about the backlogs of Scrum.
What is the Scrum product backlog?
In Scrum, the product backlog is a prioritized list of features, bugs, technical work, and other product-related items that need to be addressed by the development team.
It serves as a single source of truth for what needs to be done on the product.
The items in the product backlog are ordered based on their importance to the product owner and the value they bring to the end-user. As the project progresses, the product backlog is constantly updated to reflect new priorities, changes in requirements, and feedback from stakeholders.
The product backlog is a living document that evolves throughout the project's lifecycle. It provides transparency and enables collaboration among all members of the Scrum team.
