And there is a genuine lack of awareness and knowledge.ĭesign or structure of the organization and assignment of responsibilities is hybrid or partial. The primary reasons for these questions, in my experience, are: “Since the project manager manages the team, doesn’t the product owner report to the project manager?” “Can a product owner and project manager be the same person?” “So product owner is the same product manager and scrum master is the same as project manager, right?” “If we do not have a business analyst on a scrum team, does the scrum master write user stories?” “Should we not have a business analyst in the scrum team to write user stories?” “How many product owners can a product manager manage?” “Should we plan on hiring a product manager to manage product owners?” In this article I will dive into how the product owner seves the scrum team as well as what the differences are between these job titles and roles.Īs a management & strategy consultant and an agile transformation coach, I often get questions like: The roles of product owner, product manager, and business analyst have multiple similarities, in fact, some Certified Scrum Product Owners actually work as product managers or business analysts and many project managers transition to the role of product owner as they adapt an agile way of working. Because of this, common questions arise regarding what the difference is between a product owner and a business analyst, a product owner and a product manager, and a product owner and a project manager. Many organizations, however, include more than these three roles in their organizational charts.
Scrum defines three roles that make up a scrum team: a product owner, a scrum master and the development team.
