The SCRUM Master isn't on all agile projects, but the SCRUM Master can be any combination of rotating team member responsible for following up on team tasks and facilitating SCRUM rituals to a full agile coach responsible for team coaching, organizational-wide systems/process analyst and change agent. Sometimes they get saddled with traditional project management deliverables as well.
The product owner, however, controls the backlog, and the yes/no in what defines the product is most often the most important (and difficult) position of the PM.
- sologoub 10y agoRight, Product Owners (like Product Managers) define the "what" of the product, effectively guiding the team on what market problems to solve and for which customers. That's different from the Project Manager who works on resourcing and timing of a project.
