Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 106

What is the tactic a Scrum Master should use to divide a group of 100 people into multiple Development Teams?

Answer options

• A. Create teams based on their skills across multiple layers (such as database, UI, etc.)
• B. Ask the Product Owner to assign the people to teams.
• C. Ask the developers to divide themselves into teams.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because self-organization is a key principle of Agile and Scrum, empowering developers to choose their own teams fosters ownership and collaboration. Option A does not promote self-organization and may lead to teams that lack cohesion. Option B removes the autonomy from the developers, which contradicts the Scrum framework's emphasis on team empowerment.
