Explanation

In Scrum, the Development Team is self-organizing. No one - not architects, managers, or the Scrum Master - tells the Development Team how to turn Product Backlog items into a potentially releasable Increment. The team decides the approach, techniques, and internal work distribution. This autonomy is a core principle that enables accountability and high performance.
