The ScrumMaster is responsible for the process. Therefore, I think he is responsible for making sure this is filled and making sure it is as easy as possible to get that number. As mentioned in the post, most organization have cost-tracking systems in place that should be able to give the cost we are looking for easily. That said, the Product Owner (obviously with the team) is responsible for the ROI. Therefore, the Product Owner should be interested in those numbers. ~françois Hi Mario,

Product owner, Scrum master? Francois,

Who do you think in the team should be responsible to fill up the fields ‘Scrum Team Cost’ (numeric) and ‘Other Costs’ during (or at the end) of an iteration? Product owner, Scrum master?

You also mention that you are using a different approach. Willing to share? You also mention hot opinion story points. What do you have in mind? Cheers, ~françois Hi Trent,
