Can a Scrum Team Have Just One Developer?

#71. Daniel Kerridge says, "I'm the only developer in my team so I just wondered if there's a special version of Scrum that works in that scenario."

There are three sets of accountabilities in the scrum team: the product owner, the scrum master and developers. But how many developers do you need?

In the previous version of the Scrum Guide, the recommended minimum number of developers to have a cross-functional team was three. But that minimum was removed from the 2020 Scrum Guide.

Guy's & St. Thomas's NHS Foundation Trust ran a successful project to implement Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 using a tiny scrum team. Find out how in this episode.

Plus three conditions to meet if you have a tiny scrum team.
