Can Partial or Hybrid Roles Be Defined in Scrumban? [closed]

I recently read an interesting article on Atlassian that explored the concept of Scrumban, a hybrid approach that integrates elements of both Scrum and Kanban methodologies. The article led me to reflect on role management within Scrumban. Scrumban, as a blend of Scrum and Kanban, doesn’t formally define roles like Scrum does. However, I’m curious whether it’s possible to define partial or hybrid roles by incorporating elements from Scrum, even though Scrumban generally promotes a more fluid and autonomous workflow. For example: Is it practical for team members to take on hybrid roles that combine responsibilities from both Scrum and Kanban? While Scrumban doesn’t formally outline roles, can partial or hybrid roles be adapted effectively without undermining the principles of agile processes? I’d like to understand how teams might successfully integrate these hybrid roles within a Scrumban framework while maintaining the effectiveness of the agile approach.
