A cross-functional team is a fundamental part of effectivity. How does this relate to the Daily Scrum? Check it out! - Back to the foundations of the Scrum framework (57)

Have your clients internally or externally asked how we can know our Scrum Teams are effective? Here are some ways I have helped my clients to communicate this to their managers.

スクラムチームは自己管理型組織です。つまり、誰が、いつ、何を、どのように行うかについて、多くの決定を自分たちで行います。対照的に、従来型のチームでは、ほとんどの意思決定は特定の人（通常、マネージャー、プロジェクトリーダー、アーキテクトなど）によって行われます。自己管理型組織の利点は非常に大きく、集合知を活用し、より良い解決策を導き出せること、チームの結束力が高まること、チームメンバーのスキルが向上すること、オーナーシップが強化されることなどが挙げられます。 しかし、意思決定のスピードはどうでしょうか？私は以前、意思決定のスピードも自己管理型チームが従来のマネージャー主導のチームよりも優れている点だと考えていました。しかし、チーム組織と仕事をすればするほど、相反する例を見つけることが多くなります。特に、コンセンサス主導の意思決定を重視する日本の文化は、諸刃の剣となり得ます。両方の長所を生かすためには、スクラムチームは、協調性を維持しながらも時間効率の良い意思決定をサポートする手法の習得と実践に努めることが重要だと私は考えています。この記事でグラウディアは、私が自分のチームでよく使い、強力な効果があると思う手法の一部を紹介しています。

​​効果的で真にアジャイルな製品開発チームを思い浮かべるとき、Amazonのように毎日あるいは1日に何度もソフトウェアを本番リリースさせるようなチームを思い浮かべることが多いでしょう。製品開発チームは頻繁なリリースによって、開発中のソリューションに関する仮説を技術的な観点とビジネス的な観点の両方から早期かつ頻繁に検証をすることができます。しかしながら、必ずしもすべての業界、ビジネスモデル、技術がこれを可能にするわけではありません。この場合には、どうすればいいのだろう？

When picturing an effective and truly agile product development team, one often imagines a software development team, pushing some software to production every day, maybe multiple times a day, ala Amazon.
