• Customer Representative – focused on understanding customer problems, challenges and potential opportunities
• Visionary – communicating the vision, future state and possibilities in ways that foster common understanding
• Experimenter – focusing on innovation, hypothesis testing and validating potential value to spark product innovation
• Influencer – communicating with and influencing stakeholders, customers and the Scrum Team to act with common purpose
• Collaborator – seeking input, ideas and feedback from others
