Agile Roles and Responsibilities Its a Delivery Thing. Each of the Agile methods includes defined roles. Some have more, some have, less. DSDM is the only one of the methods that makes a big deal of making role responsibilities explicit but I think this is important. To work effectively as a team people need to know what their role is and the roles of their peers. I have often had to coach teams on the demarcation between key roles on the team typically the leadership roles, i. Small Cross functional teams. Agile teams are small and cross functional. Cross functional means that all the disciplines are represented in the team, e. Small means there are less than 1.

Ive described the Agile roles that are different from the traditional equivalentthe traditional roles which are unfortunately often left out of Agile projects. Business Sponsor owns the Cheque Book. Dsdm Agile Project Management Handbooks' title='Dsdm Agile Project Management Handbooks' />The Business Sponsor is the most senior person involved with the project. They are the project champion in the business, own the business case for the project, and are responsible for delivering the benefits back into the business. They also have the cheque book so they are the person who can terminate the project if it looks like it isnt fulfilling its goals. They get directly involved when issues are escalated to them, but more normally they let the project team get on with delivery without interference.

As an Agile developer you undertake a variety of tasks analysis, estimating, design, coding, testing and generally do what it takes which is pretty much all Scrum uses for a job definition. You are Client facing, in fact client facing every day as the customer is one of the team. There is less documentation to write, unless you want it. There is stress, e. XPs sustainable pace. On the other hand there is more visibility of your own work and progress Pair programming XP, Peer Reviews DSDM, User Reviews XP, Scrum, DSDM, Daily meetings XP, Scrum. You work faster and produced better quality. Youre part of a team with a shared aim and shared responsibility. Technical Lead. Most organisations Ive worked in have had a Technical Lead for each project. Where the organisation hasnt acknowledged this role Ive suggested they do so. DSDM and the DSDM Consortium. DSDM is a proven framework for Agile project management and it helps to deliver results quickly. DSDM has been applied to a wide range. Superbe post. Je prpare les certifications Prince2 foundation et practitioner, et en 2017 je compte passer les certifications Agile. Merci pour ton retour d. This person is one of the Developers but has additional responsibilities. The key responsibilities of a Technical Lead are Agree the technical architecture and ensure the architectural integrity is maintained. Ensure adherence to standards of best practice e. Co ordinate the teams day to day technical activities. Mentor the other technical staff.

Product Owner An Active Role. The Product Owner is the customer. You are part of the team and must actively participate. You are responsible for the requirements. You must talk to other users and get their agreement, Write up the requirements if necessary, and explain them to developers. You have a planning role too as you must prioritise and trade off requirements. During development you provide input into design and prototyping sessions. As the software is produced you must review and accept delivered functionality you must also organise, control and do user testing. Finally you must provide user documentation and handle user training. Agile Project Manager as Shepherd. The role of the Project Manager is subtly different when using an Agile approach. From my fairly biased view an Agile Project Manager is more a shepherd or sheep dog and less a military officer. There is lots of rushing around the edges of the development team but relatively little direct control of what the team does. If you merge together a description of the Project Manager, Scrum Master, Coach, and Tracker from XP, DSDM, Crystal Orange and Scrum you get Gather information from all stakeholders and integrate into workable plan log estimates advise programmers on their estimates using historical figures log task assignments sustain high rate of progress make decisions remove impediments build and sustain team culture ensure team sticks to process liaise between management and team manage customer relationships fend off feature creep and other project hazards get agreement on the prioritisation of requirements and detailed content of Timeboxes track progress against the timebox goalsplan collect information without disturbing the process update plans communicate progress ensure that the lessons are learnt log defects stay calm. Things like remove impediments and build and sustain team culture arent normally seen in traditional PM role descriptions. Then there are the softly, softly items like collect information without disturbing the process and get agreement on and notice we log task assignments we dont assign tasks. However, when the crunch comes we must still make decisions. UX Designer. My domain is the Internet and good User Experience UX is crucial to product success. I use the term UX Designer to cover two related disciplines Interaction Designers and Visual Designers. If youre lucky youll get them in the same person. The key responsibilities of the UX Designer are Understand the Product Owners vision for this product. Propose a technical feasible UX design that supports with product vision with a good user experience. Test the proposed UX design with real users in user research. UX Designers are heavily involved during Agile Pre project, Agile Project Initiation and Agile Project Execution. The UX Designers work closely with the Product Owner to define and refine the User Stories. The UX Designers must also collaborate with the Developers to ensure that the proposed user experience is technically feasible. A good way of achieve this is to use the Developers as the first users in user research. Although very involved at the start of the project the UX Designers direct involvement may decline during the development Timeboxes. Agile Coach. An Agile Coach helps members of an Agile Team to apply Agile practices in the context of their specific project. The coach provides feedback on the Agile Teams current practice and helps them improve. Computer Locks Up When Installing Updates Taking more.
