What are the different roles in Agile?

 Here is a full list of the Agile team roles:

1. Product owner

  It manage the product roadmap and prioritize the backlog. They also define the product vision and manage stakeholders. They have the authority to make key decisions and in particular, are responsible for making sure the team is working on the right items. It is helpful for the product owner to be able to communicate effectively with stakeholders. 

The Product owner should be able to understand what customers want and make adjustments accordingly. They can liaise between engineering and business teams, and they can offer insights to marketing and sales teams about the product if needed.

2. Developer

An Agile team consists of more than one developer, but these are the next essential role after the product owner. Developers will build your product, and they are responsible for programming, testing, and debugging the product. 

3. Scrum master

It facilitate scrums- the Agile framework that focuses on time-boxed iterations called sprints. Scrum masters act as coaches to the rest of the team.

They facilitate daily stand-up meetings and oversee sprint planning meetings where they help to keep the team focused and prevent scope creep. They manage sprint reviews and gather feedback, and they also remove roadblocks that could hamper the team’s productivity. 

4. Team leader

Where the scrum master is a role specific to scrum, the team leader is a role in an Agile team using Kanban methodology. 

Team leaders are there to ensure that the team is following the Agile process, while also facilitating effective communication within the team. 

5. Independent testers and auditors

This is another Agile team role that is largely optional and usually only needed on complex projects. Independent testers and auditors are there to catch any mistakes the Agile team has made before delivering the project to a client, much as an editor at a magazine checks articles before sending them to be published. 

When integrators and independent testers are both involved in complex projects, they collaborate closely on testing. This helps to function as a kind of quality assurance to prevent mistakes and errors from slipping through and reaching the client or customer.
