Succeeding with Agile

Did team members have input into the design of the team?

During the early stages of your transition to Scrum, this may not be possible. Individuals may not yet have enough experience delivering working, tested, ready-to-use products by the end of each sprint. Similarly, some individuals may be initially too resistant to Scrum to contribute to team structure discussions in constructive ways. In these cases, it is acceptable for managers outside the team to design an initial team structure. While doing so, however, they should remember that this is a responsibility that will eventually need to be turned over to the team as a whole.
