What an ideal Scrum Team should be
• Full participation
Rather than separating those who think from those who execute, everyone thinks and everyone acts. In the spirit of "All for One, One for All," members divide roles to use their strengths while supporting one another and aiming for the team's victory—the realization of the project.
• Diversity
Team members bring different expertise and skills, broadening problem-solving and idea generation. Members with the skills and knowledge needed to realize the project are assigned to the team.
• Commitment
The entire team commits to a shared goal and works together to achieve it. Every member must act as a professional with a strong determination to deliver results.
