Explanation
Scrum explicitly prohibits sub-teams or hierarchies within the Development Team, including the designation of a 'lead developer' or 'tech lead' role. The team is self-organizing and collectively responsible for the work. Assigning a lead would undermine self-organization and create a command-and-control dynamic that contradicts Scrum values. Accountability for work is shared equally by all Development Team members.
