Qualities of Fast Teams

Found this research about teams, although I'm not sure who performed the research.

The fastest teams have these qualities.

  • Dedicated: Everyone is on one and only one team.
  • Small: Fastest teams average 4.6 people (4 or 5 people).
  • Stable: Teams stay together for years.
  • Co-located: Team sits within touching distance all day.
  • Cross-functional: Each team member trained in 3 or more skills; this contributes to swarming.
  • Swarming: Team works one user story until it's done.
  • Protected: Team is not interrupted during sprint.

    The conclusion? Launching great scrum teams is a scientific and repeatable process.
