Episode 60: Scrum Roles, Events, and Artifacts

Scrum is the most widely used agile framework, and in this episode we break it down into its essential building blocks. We’ll start with the three key roles: Product Owner, who defines the “what” and prioritizes value; Scrum Master, who ensures the team works smoothly and removes barriers; and the Development Team, who self-organize to deliver increments of value. Understanding how these roles complement one another is crucial to making Scrum succeed in practice.

We’ll then explore Scrum’s core events — sprint planning, daily scrums, sprint reviews, and retrospectives — and explain how each builds cadence, focus, and improvement into the team’s rhythm. Finally, we’ll unpack the artifacts: product backlogs, sprint backlogs, and increments. These aren’t just terms — they are the heartbeat of Scrum, ensuring transparency and accountability. By the end, you’ll have a clear, practical grasp of how Scrum fits together as a lightweight yet powerful framework. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
