Project management and SCRUM
Title: What happens to my role in Agile?
I am often asked this question: “I am a project manager and our company is moving to agile or scrum, does that mean I will now become a scrum master?” In response, I hesitate and then give what seems to be the stereotypical consultant answer: “It depends.” The problem I have answering the question is that it really does depend.

Agenda
In this presentation, we will discuss the role of the Scrum Master, the need for project management and how the transition to agile impacts those within an organization. We will talk about the “it depends” response and why it really does depend. The session will cover some of the “soft skills” that are required by the Scrum Master and what may change. We will also talk about other roles in “traditional” organizations and what happens next for them like business analysts, QA and others.
