How to combine Scrum roles?

Slide Content

This PowerPoint slide outlines the combination of Scrum roles and whether these combinations are acceptable or not. A figure with a folder represents the Product Owner role, a figure with a megaphone denotes the Scrum Master, and multiple figures signify the Development Team. The first combination illustrates combining the Product Owner and Scrum Master roles, which is marked as incorrect. The second combination shows the Product Owner role combined with the Development Team, also marked incorrect. The last combination properly shows the Scrum Master and Development Team roles combined, indicated as correct.

Graphical Look

• Three horizontal grey stripes span the background, giving a ribbon-like appearance.
• There are three sets of circular icons aligned horizontally, each showing a combination of Scrum roles.
• To the left of each set, icons illustrate separate roles using stick figures with role-defining visuals: a folder (Product Owner) and a megaphone (Scrum Master).
• In the middle of each set, there is an icon representing a team of three stick figures (Development Team).
• A plus sign between the circles signifies the combination of roles.
• An equality sign follows every combination.
• The first two combinations are paired with a red "X" indicating incorrect combinations, while the third has a green checkmark for the correct combination.
• The slide uses a simple iconography style with a monochrome palette accented with small touches of orange for highlights (folder and megaphone).

The overall look of the slide is clean and straightforward, using visual metaphors to present the concept of Scrum role combinations. The color scheme is minimal and professional, with color coding clearly indicating correct and incorrect practices.
