Introduction to Scrum – Part 4
Scrum Team
The Scrum team sets the scrum framework apart from other Agile frameworks or traditional development. One way Scrum teams are unique is that they are cross-functional. This means that several different roles work together on the same team. Instead of having development broken up into individual departments, a single team has representatives of every part of the process. Analysts, developers, testers, and other roles all work together in the same place.
Cross-functional teams have numerous benefits. One of the most obvious is how quickly different roles can interact. Instead of waiting on delays in communication between departments, each role can work directly with other roles on the same team. This improves the efficiency and timeliness of communication and allows each role to get back to their own work. If a member of the development team have questions, they can go directly to the source and get answers quickly.
Scrum teams are also able to work more closely with stakeholders. In traditional development, customer feedback filters through several layers of a company before developers have any indication of success. Scrum teams have a product owner role, which serves as a representative of stakeholders. The product owner interfaces directly with stakeholders frequently and relays information to the Scrum team regularly. As such, the Scrum team knows what stakeholders think of existing features, and what they want in future pieces.
