Agile Roles

Agile Roles clarify responsibilities, expectations, interactions, and outputs from everyone in the organization. Since teams are self-organizing, roles are not about hierarchy and command/control, but about working together to align on value creation and remove impediments.

Scrum ¹ has roles defined at the team level and SAFe ² has roles defined at the program level.
