SCRUM ROLE : THE SCRUM TEAM


Scrum teams do not include any of the traditional software engineering roles such as programmer, designer, tester, or architect. Everyone on the project works together to complete the set of work they have collectively committed to complete within a sprint. Scrum teams develop a deep form of camaraderie and a feeling that "we're all in this together".

A typical Scrum team is 5-9 people. Rather than scaling by having a large team, Scrum projects scale through having teams of teams. 

Although not the only thing necessary to scale Scrum, one well-known technique is the use of a "Scrum of Scrums" meeting. With this approach each Scrum team proceeds as normal but each team identifies one person who attends Scrum of Scrum meetings to coordinate the work of multiple Scrum teams. These meetings are analogous to the Daily Scrum Meeting, but do not necessarily happen every day. In many organizations, having a Scrum of Scrums meeting two or three times a week is sufficient.
