Our coachees affectionately call it the avocado. We use this to describe the required boundary conditions and effective organizational support for developing high performing Scrum teams.
> Responsible: Scrum Development Team
> Accountable: Product Owner and Scrum Master
— boundary —
> Consulted: Subject Matter Experts, Stake Holders, Partners, Customers
> Informed: Stake Holders, Customers
A common trait of a less optimally performing Scrum team is that they are “diluted.” For example:
(1) There are fly-in, fly-out team members
(2) Some team members have low and variable rate of time commitment (e.g. 10~25%)
(3) The team size expands and contracts from Sprint to Sprint
(4) Stake Holders meddle with the Product and Sprint Backlog
(1)~(3) can be solved by making these “variable” team members participate in the development as SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) STRICTLY OUTSIDE OF THE BOUNDARIES of the Scrum Team.
