Core Role(s)

The indispensable team roles required to create the project's product; these roles are fully dedicated to the project and are answerable for the success of every Sprint and the project as a whole.

Key Points

  • Essential roles without which the product cannot be produced.
  • Committed, dedicated members responsible for delivery and outcomes.
  • Accountable for both Sprint results and overall project success.
  • Common Agile examples include Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Developers.

Example

On an Agile project building a mobile app, the Product Owner prioritizes the backlog, the Scrum Master removes impediments, and the Developers deliver a potentially shippable increment each Sprint. These core roles collectively own the Sprint outcomes and the project's overall success.
