| Context | You have a goal and a Product Backlog which is ready to be realized. |
| Problem | Productivity needs to be maximized when realizing the Product Backlog. A lot of development organizations are based on specialized teams with ares of responsibility like architecture, user interface design, frontend development, backend development, testing etc. Especially for small projects, this leads to multitasking of the team members assigned to the project and loss of productivity due to the number of teams involved. In such setings, management tends to get in the way and the level of responsibilty of the team members is low. |
| Forces | too little/too much self-organization too little/too much micro-management too little/too much technical specialization |
| Solution | Create a cross-functional self-organizing Development Team with the required domain and technical knowledge to realize the Product Backlog, guided by a Scrum Master. Cross-functional teams reduce the number of interfaces to other teams, e.g. software designers, user interface designers, software developers, technical writers and quality engineers can be part of a team to implement a new software product. Self-Organizing reduces the management overhead and supports the use of domain knowledge and expertise of the team members. However, you need one person to guide the team as servant leader, the Scrum Master. |
| Resulting Context | Your are ready to start a Sprint towards your goal. |
