## Self Organization
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to maintain high dynamics and agility of developed projects, all team members should mindfully share responsibility for product that is being developed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Vertically oriented organisational structures proved themself to be slow and inflexible with many levels of decision making. If a team wants to act fast and react dynamically to constantly changing environment, the organisational structure needs to be flat with members feeling strongly responsible for their input into the project.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It does not mean that management is obsolete process in an agile self-organised team. It just has a different characteristic than in traditional approach (especially in large organisations, but not only), proving to be more effective when more supportive and advisory than despotic and direct.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Foundation of self-organisation is trust and commitment of team's members.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Scrum teams are said to be self organising. This means that the work done and generally the way it is done is left up to the team to decide - they are
|
||
|
|
empowered by their managers to guide themselves in the ways that makes them most effective. The members of the team (Delivery Team, Product Owner, and
|
||
|
|
Scrum Master) regularly inspect their behaviors to continuously improve.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
During Sprint Planning the team will look at the product backlog (which will have been prioritised by the product owner) and decide which stories they
|
||
|
|
will work on in the upcoming sprint and the tasks which will need completing to mark the story as Done. The team will estimate a score or size for the
|
||
|
|
story to denote effort.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
During a sprint it is up to the members of the team to pick up sprint backlog stories to work on, generally they will pick ones they think they can
|
||
|
|
achieve. Due to it being a self organising team, there should be no assigning a task to a team member by someone else.
