What to do with existing roles?

Slide Content

The slide discusses the compatibility of existing business roles with roles defined in a Scrum framework. According to the slide:

• An Existing Business Analyst is compatible with the Product Owner role but not with Scrum Master or Team roles.
• An Existing Project Manager is flexible, fitting into all three Scrum roles: Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Team.
• An Existing Product Owner remains in their role but does not suit the Scrum Master or Team roles.
• An Existing Scrum Master is suited for the Scrum Master position but not for Product Owner or Team.

Graphical Look

• The slide has a clean and professional design with a white background.
• The header is in large, bold blue font, clearly stating the slide’s focus.
• Four distinct rows under the header correspond to role compatibility with icons and text.
• Each role - "Existing Business Analyst," "Existing Project Manager," "Existing Product Owner," "Existing Scrum Master" - is listed in bold text on the left.
• Three icons represent the Scrum roles: a person with a box labeled "PRODUCT OWNER," a person with a loudspeaker labeled "SCRUM MASTER," and two people with documents labeled "TEAM."
• Checkmarks (green) and crosses (red) indicate compatibility or incompatibility between existing roles and Scrum roles.

The overall look of the slide is straightforward and visually organized. Icons and color-coded marks make the compatibility status instantly clear.
