Agile Sports Roles - The General Manager

General Managers oversee the business and financial operations of the team, thus making it critical that the GM, architect and lead analyst share common strategy for helping the team achieve its goals. The lead analyst is responsible for prioritizing the needs and performance goals of the team. The architect is responsible for recommending the players that best fill the unmet needs or goals identified by the lead analyst. The General Manager can be the architect. The General Manager takes the feedback received from the lead analyst, scouts and architect during each Sprint Review Meeting, and integrates feedback into the decision making process. GMs also have an important public relations role. They oversee the day-to-day operations and short-and long-term strategic planning. Effective GMs surround themselves with a rounded staff capable of making sure they have all the information necessary to make a decision.
