Discuss Scrum PSPO-I Exam Topic 1 Question 33

What tactic should a Scrum Team use to divide a group of 100 people into multiple Scrum

Teams?

(choose the best answer)

AAsk the people to divide themselves into teams.

BCreate teams based on their skills across multiple layers (such as database, UI,
etc.).

CAsk the Product Owner to assign the people to teams.

Suggested Answer: A

According to Scrum.org, when splitting a large group into multiple Scrum Teams, it can be beneficial to allow the people to self-organize into smaller teams12. This approach respects the principle of self-organization, which is a key aspect of Scrum12. It allows individuals to choose the team they feel they can contribute to most effectively12. However, it's important to note that this process should be facilitated and guided to ensure a balanced distribution of skills and capabilities across the teams12.

Option B all the way! Gotta make sure we got a well-balanced team, you know? Can't have a bunch of UI designers and no backend folks, right?
