Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 123

In accordance with Scrum theory, how should a group of 100 people be divided into multiple Development Teams?

Answer options

• A. Understanding the product, the product vision and the rules of the Scrum framework, the group divides itself into teams.
• B. It doesn't really matter because you can rotate the teams every Sprint to spread knowledge.
• C. Check with the allocation department to see who has worked together before and make these the first teams.
• D. Create a matrix of skills, seniority, and level of experience to assign people to teams.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because Scrum emphasizes self-organization, where teams form based on their understanding of the product and the Scrum framework. Options B and C overlook the importance of self-organization, while option D, while useful for skill assessment, does not align with the Scrum principle of teams forming independently.
