Where Does The Agile Project Manager Fit In?
As companies progressively adopt Scrum as the preferred project management framework over traditional waterfall approaches, the subject of ‘role-mapping’ becomes more critical. Perhaps, one of the biggest challenges that organizations face when they move to Scrum is where does a Project Manager fit in Scrum?
We are so used to the role of a Project Manager that we often forget that it is merely a role and does not necessarily specify a position in an organizational hierarchy. The term ‘Project Manager’ has become so common that in many organizational constructs people are permanently designated as Project Manager. We have to understand the fact that project manager is not necessarily a permanently held designation in an organization; rather it’s a role that a person plays in a particular project when he or she manages that project.
A person may have the necessary skillset to manage a project but is not a project manager in that project until she plays that role. The role of a project manager is defined by the responsibilities performed in that project and a named individual just plays the role.
