Overview:
In this assignment, you will compare and contrast the core Scrum roles from those of
traditional project management. The Scrum roles and how they interact with each other
have a direct impact on the success of a project. Understanding the roles and how they
compare to traditional project manager roles will help clarify the differences between
agile and traditional projects.
Instructions:
• Summarize the roles of the product owner, the Scrum master, and the product
owner.
• Compare and contrast the Scrum roles and a traditional project manager.
• Provide an example of an agile project versus a traditional project:
o Describe the two projects.
o Explain how the different roles function specifically within each project.
Assignment Guidelines:
• Three pages in length, excluding the Title and Reference page.
• APA format, including in-text citations for referenced works.
• At least two resources.
Be sure to read the criteria, by which your paper will be evaluated, before you
write, and again after you write.
