If two Scrum Teams are added to the development of a product that previously had only one Scrum Team, what will be the immediate impact on the productivity of the original Scrum Team?
Answers
Its productivity is likely to decrease.
The Scrum Team comprises of a Product Owner, Development Team and a Scrum Master. It is self-organizing and cross-functional. It chooses how best to accomplish its work instead of being directed by others outside the team. It has all the competencies required to accomplish the work without depending on others who are not a part of the team. It is designed to optimize flexibility, creativity and productivity.
The optimal size of the Development Team should be small enough to remain nimble and large enough to do significant work within a Sprint. If there are less than three members there may be smaller productivity gains. If there are more than nine members too much coordination may be required.
Answer:
It should be that it stays the same.
Explanation:
It is talking about two full SCRUM TEAMS joining to the same project. This would me more a question of Scaling Scrum, where multiple scrum teams (up to 10) work together.
It is also asking about the productivity of the ORIGINAL scrum team, not the productivity as a whole.
I would say is a bit misleading and ambiguous as many questions in the test that nobody seems to agree in a unanimous answer.
What I find laughable is that there's no official answers for many questions in the guide or in the scrumorg. There's just a forum compiled by people like us who use their logic to get to the answer... now, something to consider is: what is logic? ... look it up in maths!
Scrum is not logic, is empirical, therefore...
...This Scrum certifications are just bananas and a very good business for our chaps "the founders"
