There are only following three roles in a Scrum team and there is no exception to this.
1. Product owner
2. Scrum Master
3. Development Team
There are no other roles. There is no scope for Project Manager. This is the simplicity and beauty of Scrum that it does not execute it as a project. The focus is on Product development and delivering maximum Business Value. Hence the role Product Owner rather than Project Manager.
Often many people don't like this simplistic view and often try to complicate it with other traditional project management principles. And the end result? They think Scrum is not working.
I would say, it is a very simple framework and keep it simple. Reminds me of a great saying "Keep it simple stupid".
The Scrum team is cross functional and self organising. The Development may consist of developers, test analyst/manager and business analyst. The Scrum framework does not define who can and can't be in the Development team. The Scrum framework says that the Dev team delivery an incremental and possible shippable product. The team model in Scrum is designed to optimize flexibility, creativity and Productivity. You can choose the Dev team based on your requirements.
In next post we will look at each of the above role in details.
