Explanation

The Development Team is self-organizing. Scrum empowers the team to determine how they will accomplish their work - no one outside the team dictates implementation details, technical practices, or task assignments. The Scrum Master serves the team by removing impediments and coaching Scrum practices, but does not direct the technical work. The Product Owner defines 'what' is built; the Development Team decides 'how' it is built.
