Key Roles in Agile Project Management (AgilePM)

Agile’s influence on project, programme and change management continues to rise at pace. Agile Project Management (AgilePM) guidance offers a practical, scalable and repeatable methodology that achieves an ideal balance between the standards, rigour and visibility required for good project management, and the fast-pace, change and empowerment provided by agile.

The success of a project is ultimately in the hands of the individuals involved in the project (who eventually form teams to support the delivery of work). 

In an Agile project this is even more important since collaboration and empowerment are at the heart of DSDM based Agile Project Management (AgilePM) framework. 

Agile Project Management (AgilePM) defines following core roles:

1. Business Sponsor
2. Business Visionary
3. Project Manager
4. Technical Coordinator
5. Business Analyst
6. Team Lead
7. Solution Developer
8. Solution Tester
9. Business Ambassador
10. Support Roles (DSDM Coach, Workshop Facilitator, Technical Advisor, Business Advisor)

Agile Project Management (AgilePM®) Handbook defines these roles in sufficient detail.
