The classic trio—Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Developers—still rule, but now “Developers” have an upgraded title: Product Developers, highlighting their full ownership of product creation, not just coding. Picture your favorite barista proudly called a Product Developer for crafting that perfect espresso!The role of Stakeholders is clearer and friendlier, introducing Supporters—those special folks who actively unblock the team and champion the product.
And here’s a twist: AI is now officially a potential team member! Think of it as the super-efficient intern who never takes coffee breaks but provides smart insights for backlog prioritization or sprint planning.
The Scrum Master evolves into a true system coach and change agent, working beyond the team to foster agility across the organization.
Meanwhile, the Product Owner leads with a hypothesis-driven mindset, treating product goals like experiments to validate and learn from.
Sprint planning now encourages teams to ask, “What might get in our way?”—a smart way to spot risks early, like packing an umbrella on a cloudy day.Here’s a real-life example: Imagine a Scrum team redesigning a new website for an e-commerce brand.
The Product Owner believes a sleek homepage will lift conversions by 20%. Product Developers build the design and backend while the Scrum Master keeps things smooth, removing blockers like delayed design feedback.
AI analyzes user data, suggesting priority areas, and a Supporter from sales helps get quick approvals.
Together, they deliver a live, tested site that delights customers and boosts business.So, the 2025 Expansion Pack invites Scrum teams to be more professional, adaptive, and even a little quirky—embracing AI, clarifying roles, and focusing on value.
It’s Scrum refreshed for the future, ready to help teams create real impact while having fun along the way.
