Sample Solution

he Team involved is self-organizing and works across different functional modules and so is comprised of analysts, designers, developers, testers, etc. as appropriate and as relevant to the project.
This team is usually referred as the development team and such a reference is leading to controversy that the team only consists of developers. It is obviously a misconception only. For any software development, it is required that all the roles are collaborating and that is the essence of scrum. Cross-functional teams have all competencies and expertise needed to complete the work without any dependency, and thus saving time and effort. This team model in Scrum is solely designed to optimize flexibility, creativity, and productivity.
Team size should be kept optimal. By optimal we mean small enough to remain nimble and large enough to complete significant work within a Sprint. The Team size is preferably five to nine people. Having less than five team members decrease interaction and leads to smaller productivity gains. For more than nine members much coordination is needed.
On a daily basis the scrum team works together closely, to ensure the smooth flow of information and the timely resolution of issues. It delivers product iteratively and incrementally, maximizing opportunities for feedback. Incremental deliveries are important so that a potentially useful version of working product is always available.
