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. Meanwhile, an Existing Product Owner remains in their role, but does not suit the Scrum Master or Team roles. Lastly, 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.
