Agile Teams
Nothing beats an Agile Team
- SAFe Mantra
Definition: An Agile Team is a cross-functional group of typically ten or fewer individuals with all the skills necessary to define, build, test, and deliver value to their customer.
Summary
An Agile Team is self-directed and equipped with all the necessary skills to deliver value in increments. They can be technical, such as hardware or software teams, or they may be an Agile Team with a business focus. Agile Teams aim for rapid delivery and frequent customer feedback, iterating towards their goals. Multiple Agile Teams may form an Agile Release Train (ART), collaborating to develop a single solution, working from a shared ART backlog, and aligning to a common vision and roadmap. Each Agile Team includes two critical roles: the Product Owner and the Scrum Master/Team Coach.
