What makes up a team?

There is no hierarchy in an agile team. Everyone is part of decision that are made which affect the team. But what actually makes up a team...

Scrum Master - There role is to make sure that the team adheres to the values and practices of the agile methodology that they follow. The scrum master also makes sure that team does not over/under commit on work and looks after pay, budget etc for the team.

Product Owner - Goes between the business and the team. They prioritise the product backlog and make sure the rest of the team understand the goals of the work they are doing.

Developers - its all in the name really

QA - Quality Assurance. These guys test the software and make sure that the teams standards dont slip

Business Owners - The teams customers. They interact with the product owner to let them know what the would like the team to do next
