This guide is intended for anyone who uses the product on a daily basis to manage agile projects, including the following users:

Product Owner (also can be the business analyst) – The person who is responsible for maintaining the product including release schedules, features, and requirements. The product owner can also review the product roadmap based on both master and subreleases. The product owner represents the stakeholders and the business.
PMO (project management office or similar role) – The person responsible for adhering the organizational processes for setting up projects and rolling them up to portfolios, and so on. Often, this job is de-centralized, but for the purpose of this exercise, we have summarized it to a single user.
Scrum Master (or Agile project manager) –The person who is responsible for the user stories and backlog. The scrum master creates sprints, manages team assignments, and monitors the status of the agile projects.
