Which two ways of creating Scrum Teams are consistent with Scrum's values? (Choose the best two answers)

Question

Options

• ABring all the people together and let them organize into Scrum Teams.
• BManagers personally re-assign current subordinates to new teams.
• CExisting teams propose how they would like to go about organizing into the new structure.
• DManagers collaborate to assign individuals to specific teams.
• EThe Chief Product Owner determines the new team structures and assignments.

• A
  84% (31)
• B
  5% (2)
• D
  3% (1)
• E
  8% (3)

Explanation

Scrum values self-organization and team autonomy. (A) Letting people self-organize into teams respects individual agency and fosters team cohesion from the start. (C) Having existing teams propose their own structure empowers them and uses their knowledge of skills and working relationships. Options B and D (managers assigning individuals to teams) are top-down approaches that undermine self-organization - a core Scrum value. Option E (Chief Product Owner determining team structure) is wrong because team composition is not a Product Owner responsibility and again bypasses self-organization. In Scrum, how work is done and who works together should emerge from the team, not be dictated from above.
