Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) — Question 175

What tactic should a Scrum Team use to divide a group of 100 people into multiple Scrum Teams? (Choose the best answer.)

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as self-organization is a key principle in Scrum, allowing team members to choose their own teams based on interpersonal dynamics and shared goals. Option B is incorrect because it undermines the self-organizing nature of Scrum teams. Option C, while focused on skills, does not promote the autonomy of individuals in forming teams.
