Which Agile Scrum Role is Right for You?

Scrum team member, Product Owner or Scrum Master?

We often receive the question: which Scrum training should I take? Our response? It depends on which role aligns best with your interests and personality. So, the real question is: which Scrum role is the best fit for me?

In a core Scrum team, there are three distinct roles: Scrum Master, Scrum Product Owner, and Scrum team members. The Product Owner, in collaboration with the client, determines what to create and its priority. Based on this input, the Scrum team decides how to approach the task and plans the work. The Scrum Master facilitates and coaches the team, ensuring everyone adheres to the Scrum process.

Are you someone who enjoys hands-on creation and brings expertise in a specific area? You may find the role of Scrum team member a natural fit. For those who are passionate about representing the client and have a strong vision for what needs to be developed, the Product Owner role could be perfect. Or, if you’re someone who thrives on guiding others and is drawn to overseeing processes, the Scrum Master role might suit you best.
