What is a Scrum Project Manager?

A Scrum Project Manager is a professional responsible for overseeing projects that use the Scrum framework, an agile methodology for software development and project management. While Scrum traditionally emphasizes the roles of Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Development Team, some organizations use the title 'Scrum Project Manager' to describe someone who combines Scrum Master responsibilities with those of a traditional project manager. This role typically involves facilitating Scrum events, removing obstacles, coordinating between teams, and ensuring that project goals align with business objectives. The Scrum Project Manager helps teams adhere to agile principles while also managing timelines, resources, and stakeholder communication.
