Thomas Owens. 10:40 am February 18, 2020. It's a recommendation. You can have 10 or 11 members and still be a Scrum Team if you are following the rules of Scrum that are laid out in the Scrum Guide.

Having one person be a member of 3, 4, or 5 Scrum teams is probably too many. Even being on 2 Scrum teams dramatically lowers the amount of working time someone has during a Sprint.

04:00 am December 1, 2020. Rupesh, My understanding is that every Scrum team should have one (and only one) Product Owner and one Scrum Master.

Even if the same Product Owner works across multiple Products, he would reserve the Product Owner space as each ...

Teams choose. Our preferred approach is for teams to choose their team members. They identify the gaps they are looking to fill and the behaviours & values they are seeking. They interview potential new members and have the autonomy to decide. The risk of this approach is affinity bias and groupthink, where the team tend to look for people like ...
