Advantages of Having a Program Manager on a Scrum Project
By Aaron Sanders
Having a Program Manager on a Scrum project presents both the Product Managers (PMs) and the Engineering Managers (EMs) with the following advantages:
- Both are freed from doing all the program/project work!
- The Product Managers can focus on their true mission:
- finding the most value in the smallest scope (maximizing ROI)
- The Engineering Managers can focus on their area of expertise:
- developing the best engineering design
- solving technical issues
- building products in accordance w/ best eng. practices
- improving performance and stability
