This type of team has many names: Guiding Team, Executive Team, Strategic Team, etc. Since we are using the Agile Project Management Process let's use their langaugae - the SCRUM.

The term was lifted from rugby and describes the huddle before the play. Since the word huddle is used for quick Sprint Team meetings, the decision to call the group a SCRUM.

Topics: SCRUM Master (Facilitator): Issue Resolution & Escalation, Problem Solving, Team Building, Coaching, Change Management; Product Owner: Manages Stakeholder Expectations, Budget & Cost Control, Risk Management; represents members of the Sprints in the SCRUM. Champion: the owner or senior executive - makes sure the project receives necessary support.
