Professional Scrum Master I

• #81

  You have six teams using a traditional method to deliver a product. Your management has asked you to start using Scrum. In the initial project there were separate plans and teams for the layers of a software system, i.e. one for the frontend, one for the middle tier, one for the back-end, and one for the interfaces and services. This resembles what is known as component teams. But you have read that it's a good idea to have teams organized by feature. What are the advantages of keeping component teams while starting Scrum?

  • AThere's less initial disruption than organizing into new teams. As they start, they will discover what works best, and how to potentially re-organize towards this.
  • BComponent teams generally have the skills needed to create a working Increment of software that provides business value.
  • CBecause they have worked together for some time, they are likely able to start producing shippable Increments faster that new feature teams would.
  • DThere are fewer cross-team dependencies than working in feature teams.
