What does a perfect Agile team look like?

People often ask me how they should approach and do things to become a great Agile team.

I’ve even created an Agile Team Scan to see how well they’re doing. What I’ve done here is select all the best answers — according to me — in that scan, and then create a story around those best answers. When somebody asks me now what a perfect Agile team looks like, I have a great story to tell…

How We Work As A Perfect Agile Team

Our team operates like a well-oiled machine, built on a foundation of strong collaboration, shared responsibility, and a clear focus on delivering value. Every member plays a crucial role in maintaining our efficiency and ensuring that we continuously improve.

Team Health: Roles & Responsibilities

Our Agile Scrum team is built on a clear foundation of defined roles and shared responsibility. We have a dedicated, full-time Product Owner who maintains focus on delivering maximum value and making sure priorities are always aligned with stakeholder needs. Alongside the Product Owner, our full-time Scrum Master ensures that the team remains aligned with Agile principles, facilitating processes and helping remove impediments.
