THE SCRUM TEAM

Refer to PMI’s Agile Practice Guide. The Scrum team consists of :

1. The Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product.

2. The Development Team is a cross-functional, self-organizing team consisting of team members who have everything they need within the team to deliver working product without depending on others outside of the team.

3. The Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring the Scrum process is upheld and works to ensure the Scrum team adheres to the practices and rules as well as coaches the team on removing impediments.

That’s correct but now as per the new scrum guide 2020, I believe they renamed self-organizing as self-managing.

Hi Paphatpisit,

In the 2020 version of the Scrum Guide the term "development team" is no longer used and so there is just one team: the Scrum Team. I think that's an improvement as the distinction that used to be made between the two was confusing and mostly irrelevant anyway.

If you're interested in Scrum, I would suggest reading the Scrum Guide. It's free, it's authoritative, and it's shorter than even the Wikipedia article about Scrum.
https://scrumguides.org/index.html

I'm not trying to diminish the value of PMI's Agile Practice Guide, but it does not have a lot to say about Scrum, specifically. PMI is also not the authority on Scrum, which may be why so many PMI members resist it or misrepresent it as a project management methodology.

You don't need to be an expert on Scrum to be a good project manager. Learn project management from project managers. Conversely, if Scrum interests you, you should learn it from Scrum practitioners, not project managers.

Looking for a few practical tips to implement scrum agile in a professional services PMO? Here are my favorite if you can't leave waterfall behind.

1. Convert requirements into a prioritized backlog and start talking about your backlog to familiarize the team with the verbiage.

2. Focus on delivering a working increment every sprint. Give clients and stakeholders something to react to each time.

3. Integrate PMO metrics with scrum KPIs like velocity etc.

Good summary of the Scrum team roles as outlined in the Agile Practice Guide. What I find particularly important in practice is how these roles work together to balance value, delivery, and process.
  • The Product Owner ensures the team is building the right thing by continuously prioritizing value.
  • The Development Team focuses on how the work gets done through collaboration and self-organization.
  • The Scrum Master helps maintain a healthy delivery environment by facilitating the process and removing impediments.
When these three roles operate with clear accountability and strong communication, Scrum teams tend to deliver more consistent outcomes. In my experience, challenges often arise not from the framework itself, but from unclear boundaries between these roles or organizational interference that limits team autonomy.
