A Scrum Team is typically 10 or fewer people. Small teams communicate better and are more productive.
1The Visionary (PO)
The Product Owner represents the voice of the customer. They must balance the needs of stakeholders with the capacity of the team, always aiming to maximize the 'Return on Investment' (ROI) of every Sprint.
2The Guardian (SM)
The Scrum Master protects the team from outside interference. They aren't a secretary or a boss; they are a coach who ensures that Scrum is understood and enacted correctly.
3The Engine (Developers)
Developers in Scrum are cross-functional. This means they have all the skills necessary to create value each Sprint—coding, testing, design, and architecture all happen within the team.
