Q

What are the two main characteristics of a Development Team?

Hint: Self… and Cross…

A

A Development Team is self-organizing and cross functional.

Self-organizing because they decide how to turn Product Backlog into functional increments.
Cross-functional because they are self-contained. They have all the skills they need without depending upon others.

Q

What’s the best size for a Development Team and why?

A

3 to 9 is recommended.

Less than 3 and you don’t have enough differing opinions or people or skills to do the work.

More than 9 is too difficult for communications and work.

If the Product Owner or Scrum Master do actual work on the team, they can be in your 3 - 9 count.
