As we discussed in previous post Everything you want to know about Agile Scrum Team, there are 3 core roles in Scrum. We will discuss Third and the last of these 3 roles in detail which is Development or Scrum Team.
The Development team or Scrum team (now onwards called scrum team) is responsible for delivering potentially shippable increments (PSI) of the product (Sprint Goals) at the end of each Sprint. The Scrum Team builds the product that the customer is going to consume like the software, website, etc. High performing scrum teams are highly collaborative and self-organizing with a very high degree of autonomy and accountability. The Scrum teams are "cross-functional" and it includes all the expertise necessary to deliver the PSI.
Effectively the Scrum teams are made up of 7 individuals plus or minus 2 with the cross-functional skills who do the actual work (analyze, design, develop, test, technical communication, document, etc.) but can scale up using scrum of scrums. Also, see Agile Methodology Myths busted. Fewer team members and the team may not have enough variety of skills to do all of the work needed to complete user stories. More team members and the communication overhead starts to get excessive.
The Scrum team have total authority over how the work gets done, which tools & techniques to use, and which team members will work on which tasks. The people who do the work are the highest authorities on how best to do it. Similarly, if the business needs schedule estimates, it is the team members who should create these estimates.
The Scrum team should possess all of the skills required to create a potentially shippable product. Most often, this means we will have a team of specialists, each with their own skills to contribute to the team's success.
The Scrum Team has the following responsibilities:
