Concepts
Scrum Team
A small, self-managing team consisting of a Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Developers.
Plain English explanation
The Scrum Team is the group of people responsible for building the product. They work together as one unit instead of separate roles working in isolation.
Why it matters
Scrum works because the team is self-managing and cross-functional. This means they can make decisions and deliver value without waiting on others.
How it works
The Scrum Team includes the Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Developers. Together, they plan, build, review, and improve in each Sprint.
Example
A Scrum Team includes a designer, developer, tester, Product Owner, and Scrum Master working together daily to deliver product features.
Common misunderstanding
The Scrum Team is not divided into separate departments. It works as one cohesive unit.
