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