ScrumDesk for Windows (retired): Step 2 – Define a team
Who
| Product Owner |
Work that needs to be done can be easily distributed in more development teams. ScrumDesk connects teams in one virtually connected social community. This community is notified by the ScrumDesk notification system about any change. Teams can be distributed over the internet.
The New ScrumDesk project has one user at the minimum, the author of the project is automatically imported as Scrum Master.
SCRUM defines a few roles for team members:
- Scrum Master is the coordinator and SCRUM method implementation validator.
- Product Owner is someone who defines project requirements, features, and stories. The product owner also defines priorities.
- A developer or Tester is someone who is responsible for requirements implementation and its verification. Typically will estimate story size and implementation duration.
- A visitor is anybody who can see a project status but can not change anything. The visitor can be managers, stakeholders.
