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) – This person is responsible for maintaining the product including release schedules, features, and requirements. The Product Owner also reviews the product roadmap based on both master and sub-releases and represents the stakeholders and the business.
PMO (project management office or similar role) – This person is in charge of 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) – This person is in charge of the user stories and the backlog. A Scrum Master creates sprints, manages team assignments, and monitors the status of the agile projects.
Development Team – This user is responsible for the day-to-day work of the sprint project. In Agile Planning, the development team creates the tasks, updates the task status (with hours and estimates), creates issues, and gives feedback on success to the scrum master.
Portfolio Manager (also could be business or stakeholder) – This person is responsible for seeing the roll-up of the agile projects with the traditional projects.
