Which is NOT a Scrum role? (Choose the best answer)

AProduct Owner

BDevelopers

CProject Manager

DScrum Master

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Scrum defines three roles: Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Developers. The Scrum Guide states: 'The Scrum Team consists of one Scrum Master, one Product Owner, and Developers.' Project Manager (C) is a traditional role absent in Scrum, where responsibilities are distributed among the Scrum Team.

A, B, D: These are explicit Scrum roles.

C: Not a Scrum role.

Exact Extract from Scrum Guide: 'The Scrum Team consists of one Scrum Master, one Product Owner, and Developers. Within a Scrum Team, there are no sub-teams or hierarchies.' (Section: 'The Scrum Team')

Thus, C is correct.

Haha, the Project Manager is like the odd one out in Scrum. Guess they're not needed in this agile world.

Definitely C. The Project Manager is more of a traditional role, not part of the Scrum framework.

C) Project Manager is the correct answer. Scrum doesn't have a Project Manager role.

I'm a bit confused because some teams have Project Managers, but I guess they don't fit into the Scrum framework.

I think the Project Manager isn't a Scrum role, but I'm not completely sure. We discussed this in class, right?

I've studied Scrum a lot, so I'm confident the answer is C) Project Manager. Scrum has a specific set of roles, and the Project Manager is not one of them.

Okay, let me think this through. The Product Owner, Developers, and Scrum Master are the main Scrum roles, so the Project Manager must be the one that's not part of it.
