If a Scrum Team becomes too large, the team shouldreorganize into multiple cohesive Scrum Teamsthat share the sameProduct GoalandProduct Backlog. This approach ensures that all teams remain focused on delivering value while maintaining transparency and alignment.
According to the2020 Scrum Guide:
* Theideal sizefor a Scrum Team is small enough to remain nimble (typically 10 or fewerpeople).
* When a Scrum Team becomes too large, it should form multiple smaller teams, all working from the same Product Backlog and pursuing the same Product Goal.
Why the other options are incorrect:
* A. Split into sub-teams based on function:Scrum encourages cross-functional teams, so dividing based on function contradicts Scrum principles.
* C. Divide into separate teams each with their own Product Owner:A single Product Owner should manage the Product Backlog to ensure alignment and avoid conflicting priorities.
* D. Do nothing and focus on delivering a usable product Increment:Not addressing the issue of an oversized team can lead to inefficiencies and reduced team effectiveness.
