			In short, the Scrum master is responsible for the Scrum team’s effectiveness (Scrumorg master). A Scrum master is someone with a deep understanding and knowledge of the Scrum framework. This includes Scrum team roles, Scrum events and Scrum artifacts. One of the main responsibilities of the Scrum master is to make sure every participant understands the Scrum process and their individual roles and responsibilities. In addition to that, the Scrum master also helps outside of their respective scrum team. They can also help the organization around the Scrum team to have a better understanding of how the framework works. The Scrum master thereby serves the Scrum team, the product owner and the organization in numerous ways. They help team members with self-management and ensuring all of the events are done within the set timeframe. They help product owners with planning and backlog management, and finally they help the entire organization by educating and training employees in the Scrum framework.
			In order to become an official Scrum master, you have to take a Scrum master certification course. There are many providers of these courses, and they vary in length.

	The product owner is often the key stakeholder of the project (REF workfront). Their main purpose is ensuring the maximization of the value that the project intends to provide to the end customer.

They do this by managing the product backlog which is an ordered list of the desired features the end product should have.
	Product owners often takes the perspective of the customer or consumer of the product. This customer centric perspective is meant to help ensure that the product actually delivers on the goals set in the beginning of the process. The product owner is the role within the Scrum framework that acts the most like what a project manager does in a traditional project group. It is fine for a product owner delegate work within the Scrum team, but the product owner is accountable of not only the daily executions of Scrum events but also the final product. A product owner is often a person with knowledge of both the business and technical side of the project and can therefore act as a mediator between developers with different backgrounds. It is also recommended that the product owner is someone with great leadership since the person is in charge of the entire Scrum team and the process. The Scrum guide also emphasizes the importance of their only being one single person as product owner within every Scrum team: “The Product Owner is one person, not a committee. The Product Owner may represent the needs of many stakeholders in the Product Backlog. Those wanting to change the Product Backlog can do so by trying to convince the Product Owner.”(Scrumguide). This also means that, in order for a product owner to be successful, the other members of the Scrum team must trust and respect the product owner decisions.

	As mentioned before, the Scrum is performed by a small team of people. A Scrum team consists of a Product owner, a Scrum master and developers. The Scrum team is supposed to be self-managed and consisting of people with the necessary competences to achieve the goal. In order words, the teams should not be relying on any other manager or employees. The Scrum team can vary in size, however, smaller teams are preferable since it helps the team stay nimble and agile. According to the Scrum Guide (REF), a Scrum team should rarely exceed 10 people, but it does of course depend on the objective or goal.

Scrum was introduced in 1986 by Hirotaka Takeuchi and Ikujiro Nonaka with an article named: ‘The New New Product Development Game’, published by Harvard Business Review (REF). In the early 1990s it was further developed by Ken Schwaber and his company. Even though Scrum is spelled in all capital letters a lot of places, it is not an acronym. The word itself originated from rugby, where the term means a formation of players or a team (wiki ref).
			Scrum was made to help provide organizations flexible solutions to problems. Scrum is an iterative process, with the time frame most commonly being between 2 weeks and a month. This time frame is called a sprint in Scrum terminology. However, this varies a lot depending on the organization needs.

	Scrum has become an essential tool for practitioners of Lean management, which has had a significant increase of popularity in recent years. Lean focuses on reducing waste, not only physically waste, but also with regards to time, labor and money (REF). Lean helps companies rethink their approach to their operations and processes, which in turn helps them stay competitive.
