Structure of Agile Teams at AOE

To create successful projects and ideal conditions, an optimal structuring of the project team is a prerequisite. A functional team with the necessary professional expertise and agile methodological competence is essential, especially when developing software for complex projects. Our agile project teams generally work according to the Scrum model, are comprised of five to nine team members and consist of the following roles:

Product Owner: The PO represents the professional role of the client and is in contact with the stakeholders of the client
Scrum Master: The Scrum Master supports the team in the development of team performance and the continuous improvement of processes
Dev Team: Depending on requirements, the heterogeneous development team consists of developers for the backend (BE), frontend (FE) and quality assurance (QA) as well as specialists in design, UX, software architecture and IT

Client is active Part of Project Teams

In agile projects, the client is an active part of the project teams, usually in the role of the Product Owner. This has many advantages:

Communications: Due to regular communications, the client is informed at all times and can actively steer project progression
Early Results: Thanks to short iterations, the client regularly receives functional software early on
Flexibility: Change requests can be quickly and flexibly reacted to
Trust: Close partnership leads to a high degree of trust between client and service provider
Transparency: Through the constant insight into the project, the client has control of the costs at all times
