Wait, is there really a limit of 9 functions? That sounds off.

The real reason is to keep the team small enough that they can all fit in a phone booth together. You know, for those impromptu team-building exercises.

I'm pretty sure the 9-member limit is to ensure that the team can all hold hands in a circle during the retrospective. Anything more and it just gets awkward.

Duh, it's because 9 is the perfect number of people to order a large pizza for the team. Any more and you'd have to get two pizzas, which is just wasteful.

I thought the limit was 9 team members because that's the maximum number of people Scrum Masters can keep track of in their heads during the daily standup.

I believe it’s related to productivity, but I also recall something about team cohesion being better with fewer members.

I’m a bit confused about the functions part. I thought the limit was more about team dynamics rather than a specific number of functions.

I remember reading that smaller teams can communicate better, which might be why they suggest 9 members. It feels like a common practice question.

I think the limit is about team productivity, but I’m not entirely sure if it’s specifically about being more productive with fewer members.

I'm not totally sure about the reasoning behind the 9-member limit, but I know smaller teams tend to be more productive, so I'll go with option B.

I remember learning about this in class. I think the 9-member limit is to keep the team size small enough to be agile and collaborative. Option B sounds right.

The 9-member limit makes sense to me - it's probably to keep the team size manageable and ensure good communication. I'll go with option B.

The main reason is clearly to ensure that the team can fit around a single table for their daily scrum meetings. Anything larger and they'd have to resort to video calls.
