The challenges of prioritizing and filtering development requests in a Scrum team are significant. A well-functioning Scrum team typically consists of a Product Owner, a Scrum Master, and various team members each with defined roles to play. The Business Analyst plays a crucial role in helping stakeholders develop actionable requests that can be prioritized by the team. This involves analyzing business processes and refining them to create constructive requests for assistance from the Scrum team. The Product Owner must parse incoming information and prioritize it into a consumable request that the team can review during sprint planning, while also providing political insulation and vision to the team. The Scrum Owner is responsible for clearing the path for the team to be productive and successful, focusing on producing well-received output and continuously improving outcomes. By assisting with this process, technology professionals can demonstrate a willingness to participate in broader organizational goals and change perceptions about their profession.
