Introduction to the Scrum Project Roles
A 59 Seconds Agile Article
This article provides an ‘Introduction into the Scrum Project Roles’ and looks to discuss the different roles that are involved in an Agile Scrum Project.
Development Team
The Development Team refers to the collection of individuals who work together to deliver the product increments. It is composed of six to nine members, which is large enough to be composed of different skill sets, and small enough to easily collaborate. As such, the team is cross functional.
Everyone on the project works together, helps each other, and shares a deep sense of camaraderie. Unlike traditional development teams, there are not distinct roles like programmer, designer, or tester. Everyone completes the work together.
The Development Team owns the plan for each sprint; they anticipate how much work they can complete in each iteration. They are autonomous and make decisions independently without interference from either the product owner or scrum master.

User Stories Applied
A 59 Seconds Agile Book Review
User Stories Applied by Mike Cohn is one of our favourite books on Agile User Stories. The book starts with an overview into user stories, and details what a user story is and the different aspects of them.
