Question

A cross-functional team in Scrum consists of which types of team members?

Options

  • AA specialist in QA
  • BAn architect
  • CA release manager
  • DAnyone with the skills to accomplish the work

Explanation

Cross-functional in Scrum means the team collectively possesses all the skills needed to deliver a potentially releasable Increment each Sprint — without depending on people outside the team. This is not about having designated specialists in QA, architecture, or release management (A, B, C), which would imply siloed roles. Instead, the team as a whole owns delivery, and members may wear multiple hats. Any skill set that enables completing the work qualifies.
