Role of the Manager in Scrum

Pete Deemer, our Business Manager at the Scrum Training Institute, has written an excellent article on the role of the manager in Scrum.

Like me, you probably get asked the following question quite often: "What's the role of a manager in Scrum? I'm a manager, and since I'm not mentioned in the definition of the Scrum roles, and the team is self-organizing, does that mean I'm supposed to just... disappear?"

I recently wrote a short guide to answering this question. A couple other CST's have stumbled upon it in the last few weeks and emailed me to say they found it quite useful, and I wanted to share it with the full group as well. If you have any feedback or suggestions, I'd love to hear. You can download the guide at: Manager 2.0: The Role of the Manager in Scrum
