Which two ways of creating Scrum Teams are consistent with Scrum's values?

(choose the best two answers)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D, E

The Scrum values are commitment, focus, openness, respect, and courage1.These values are embodied by the Scrum Team, which is a self-managing unit that organizes its own work and delivers a valuable product2. The Scrum Team consists of one Scrum Master, one Product Owner, and Developers[3][3]. The best way to create Scrum Teams is to respect the self-management and empowerment of the people who will do the work, and let them decide how to organize themselves into Scrum Teams.This can be done by bringing all the people together and letting them form Scrum Teams based on their skills, interests, and alignment with the product vision4.Alternatively, existing teams can propose how they would like to reorganize themselves into Scrum Teams, based on their feedback and experience5. These ways of creating Scrum Teams are consistent with the Scrum values, as they foster commitment, focus, openness, respect, and courage among the team members and stakeholders. The other options are not consistent with the Scrum values, as they involve managers or the Chief Product Owner imposing their decisions on the team members, which undermines their self-management and empowerment, and creates a lack of trust and collaboration.

C could work, but it still feels a bit controlled.

Wait, can teams really just organize themselves? Sounds risky!

I'm a bit unsure about C; it sounds collaborative, but I'm not sure if it fully embraces the self-organizing principle of Scrum.

I remember a practice question where we discussed team autonomy, so I feel like D and E might be the right choices here.

I think options A and B are definitely not aligned with Scrum values since they involve top-down decisions.

Okay, I think I've got it - the two best options are D and E, where the existing teams propose the new structure or everyone organizes themselves. Those seem to give the most autonomy and self-organization.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the "Managers collaborate to assign individuals to specific teams" option. That still seems to have some top-down elements, even if it's not a single manager deciding.

I'm leaning towards the options that involve the existing teams or all the people organizing themselves into the new structure. That seems more in line with Scrum's principles.

The Scrum values emphasize self-organization and empowerment, so I'm thinking the options that involve managers or a Chief Product Owner determining the teams might not be consistent with that.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question mentions the cached content is expensive to regenerate, so I'm not sure if a simple Redis instance would be enough. Maybe option C, ApsaraDB for Redis in Standard Mode, would be a better choice to ensure reliability.

Okay, let's see. Studies of similar projects, risk databases, and information on prior projects all seem like they could be useful for qualitative risk analysis. I'll have to think about which one is the least likely to be used.

I disagree, I think managers collaborating to assign individuals to specific teams can also be consistent with Scrum's values of collaboration and cross-functional teams.

Haha, seriously! That would be like the Scrum Master showing up and saying, 'Okay, team, I've decided we're gonna have a 6-hour daily standup from now on.' Just doesn't fly.

Totally! And E is a big no-no. The Chief Product Owner shouldn't be the one determining team structures. That's the team's job.
