Accountabilities / Roles
“The fundamental unit of Scrum is a small team of people, a Scrum Team. The Scrum
Team consists of one Scrum Master, one Product Owner, and Developers.”

Events
“The Sprint is a container for all other events. Each event in Scrum is a formal
opportunity to inspect and adapt Scrum artifacts. These events are specifically
designed to enable the transparency required. Failure to operate any events as
prescribed results in lost opportunities to inspect and adapt. Events are used in
Scrum to create regularity and to minimize the need for meetings not defined in
Scrum.”
– Scrum Guide 2020

Accountabilities and Events

Each team member based on their accountabilities has a different role to play in
different events. What does the Scrum Guide tell us about what each role does
during different events? Look for clues in the Scrum Guide.

How is each role involved in each event?

Artifacts and Commitments

“Scrum’s artifacts represent work or value. They are designed to maximize
transparency of key information. Thus, everyone inspecting them has the same basis
for adaptation.”
– Scrum Guide 2020
