You have six teams using a traditional method to deliver a product. Your management has asked you to start using Scrum. In the initial project there were separate plans and teams for the layers of a software system, i.e. one for the front-end, one for the middle tier, one for the back-end, and one for the interfaces and services. This resembles what is known as component teams. But you have read that it’s a good idea to have teams organized by feature.
What are the advantages of keeping component teams while starting Scrum?
- A . There’s less initial disruption than organizing into new teams. As they start, they will discover what works best, and how to potentially re-organize towards this.
- B . Component teams generally have the skills needed to create a working Increment of software that provides business value.
- C . Because they have worked together for some time, they are likely able to start producing shippable Increments faster that new feature teams would.
- D . There are fewer cross-team dependencies than working in feature teams.
What activities would a Product Owner typically undertake in the phase between the end of the current Sprint and the start of the next Sprint?
- A . There are no such activities. The next Sprint starts immediately after the current Sprint.
