The Scrum Team

1. The fundamental unit of Scrum is a small team of people: the Scrum Team.
2. There are 3 accountabilities in Scrum
   • The Developer
   • The Scrum Master
   • The Product Owner
3. Accountabilities are not job titles but an area of responsibility e.g. a Finance Manager could be a “Developer” in a Scrum Team.
4. Scrum Teams are Cross Functional & Self Managing.
5. Scrum Teams are typically 10 or fewer people
   • If the team grows too large, we have to consider reorganizing into smaller teams
6. There can be multiple Scrum Teams working on a Product, but only one Product Owner working on a Product. The general rule to remember is:
   • 1 Product = Only 1 Product Owner + Only 1 Product Backlog + Only 1 Product Goal

1. There is only 1 team in Scrum (The Scrum Team) & no sub-teams or hierarchies.
2. The entire Scrum Team is responsible for all product related activities including:
   • Stakeholder collaboration
   • Verification
   • Maintenance
   • Operation
   • Experimentation
   • Research & Development
   • Etc..
3. The Scrum Team can release as many times as they want during the Sprint.
4. “The entire Scrum Team is accountable for creating a valuable, useful Increment every Sprint” – The Scrum Guide
5. The Scrum Team creates The Sprint Goal.
6. The Scrum Team creates the “Definition of Done”.
