Separation of Power in the Scrum Framework

As delicate a balance in Scrum as it is in our democratic institutions

Among the many smart ideas used in the Scrum Framework, my favourite is the way the three roles (since 2020 known as accountabilities) separate the responsibilities of the Scrum Team:

• Product Owner: responsible for the what,

• Developers: responsible for the how,

• Scrum Master: responsible for the Scrum way of working.
