Which approach is best for Scrum Teams in order to produce valuable Increments? (Choose the best answer.)

Question

Options

• AEach Developer works on the component where they feel that they can contribute.
• BEach Scrum Team is accountable for developing functionality from beginning to end.
• CEach Scrum Team works on an independent set of components.
• DEach Scrum Member works only as an independent layer of the system.

• A
  90% (36)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  5% (2)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option A is correct because Scrum promotes cross-functional, self-organizing teams where Developers are not locked into a specific component or layer. Each Developer should contribute wherever value can be created, avoiding siloed specialization. Option B sounds plausible but in a multi-team context can imply teams work in isolated end-to-end silos rather than collaborating on a unified product. Option C (independent components) and D (independent layers) both reinforce component or architectural silos, which contradict Scrum's goal of delivering integrated, potentially shippable Increments. Flexibility in where Developers apply their skills is key to maximizing team throughput and producing valuable Increments.
