Learn in the textbookComponents of Scrum

DefinitionA Scrum Team (スクラムチーム) is the single unit that builds a product in Scrum, made up of three roles: the Product Owner, the Developers and the Scrum Master.

ExplanationUnder the 2020 Scrum Guide, there is one Product Owner and one Scrum Master, several Developers, and no hierarchy or sub-teams inside the team. The team itself decides who does what, when and how, which makes it self-managing, and the whole team is typically 10 people or fewer.

AnalogyThink of a small theater troupe: one person picks the play, others build the show, and someone keeps rehearsals from stalling, while members work out the details among themselves.
