Scrum necessitates a Cross-Functional, Self-Managing team to consistently deliver usable Done Increments each Sprint. This means that the team must possess a variety of skills within its members, enabling them to handle all aspects of the work needed without relying on external teams. Each member should be capable of collaborating and contributing across different areas, ensuring a seamless Workflow.
For many traditional organisations, enabling such a setup can be quite challenging. Traditional structures often segregate teams based on specialisations, with work being handed off between these teams. This segmentation can lead to significant dependencies, delays, and a lack of cohesion in the final product. Transitioning to a Scrum framework requires a shift in mindset and organisational structure.
