Scrum Project Roles – Part 10
Teams that have around 5 people, excluding the Scrum Master and Product Owner, tend to be more productive and efficient. Collaboration and communication tend to be easier and there is a lot less overhead than larger teams. Forming a team with fewer members is also easier. Finding 5 people who can do the job is a lot easier than finding a team of 16.
Teams with 5-7 members tend to be just as productive, or close to it, as larger teams while having a diverse set of skills that is needed to get work done efficiently. Furthermore, members often have cross-functional skills that can come in handy just in case a team member is no longer available.
Five-member teams tend to be better at communicating and collaborating with each other. Scrum Masters will often spend less time coordinating between team members and planning events when teams are kept small. Planning meetings and keeping those meetings on track can take a lot more effort with larger teams. Not only are larger team meetings harder to keep time-boxed but one tangent could throw the whole meeting off course. Keeping a team small helps you as a Scrum Master keep the team on track and productive.
