Scrum is not a process or a technique for building products; rather, it is a framework within which you
can employ various processes and techniques.

Question 4 of 30

What is the recommended size for a Development Team (within the Scrum Team)?

Correct answer: B)
You chose: B)
Note: This question displayed answer options in random order when taking this Test.

A) Minimal 7

Optimal Development Team size is small enough to remain nimble and large enough to complete
significant work. Fewer than three Development Team members decreases interaction and results in
smaller productivity gains. More than nine members simply requires too much coordination.
