The Scrum Team
The Scrum Team consists of a Product Owner, the Development Team, and a Scrum Master.
Scrum Teams are self-organizing and cross-functional. Self-organizing teams choose how best to
accomplish their work, rather than being directed by others outside the team. Cross-functional
teams have all competencies needed to accomplish the work without depending on others not
part of the team. The team model in Scrum is designed to optimize flexibility, creativity, and
productivity. The Scrum Team has proven itself to be increasingly effective for all the earlier
stated uses, and any complex work.
