Mid From PDF Agile Agile & Scrum

How can Scrum adapt to different team sizes and skillsets?

For small teams (3–5):
  • Communication is simpler.
  • Roles may overlap more (e.g., devs test their own work).
For larger teams (8+):
  • Consider splitting into multiple Scrum Teams working on the same product, aligned

by a Scaled Scrum approach (e.g., Nexus, LeSS).

  • Use communities of practice for specialized skill-sharing.

Follow On:

For varied skillsets:
  • Promote cross-training to reduce silos.
  • Use pair programming, knowledge sharing sessions, and code walkthroughs.

Example:

In a team with only one QA, developers start writing automated tests and review each

other’s code to balance the workload.
