BC & D are correct answers Productivity may suffer - “When Feature teams are formed there will be slight decrease in the performance” Less communication overhead - “Increases flexibility by reducing dependencies between teams” Getting support from business side –“Responsible for the whole customer-centric Feature”

Selected Answer: BCD

Explanation: A is incorrect → Scrum can still be used with component teams, though feature teams are more effective at delivering end-to-end value. E is incorrect → measuring "productivity per team" is not a Scrum concern, nor is it easier or relevant with feature teams. The key considerations are that moving to feature teams might cause a temporary drop in productivity, requires business support, and ultimately leads to less coordination overhead compared to component teams.

B, C, D Option A is not accurate. While feature teams are often beneficial, it's not true that Scrum cannot be done without them. Scrum can be adapted to various team structures based on the needs of the product and organization. Option E is also not a significant factor in deciding to move to feature teams.

Functional team is a team that work on all three layer of an application (front,middle ,back).In order to produce an increment the scrum team need to have all the skills needed.On the other hand component team work on single aspect of an application.So while moving from component team towards feature team…Productivity may decrease slightly.and less communication overhead.So in my opinion option A.Scrum can’t be implemented without feature team(cross functional)B productivity may decrease D less communication overhead.

For my opinion the answer is B, D, E. There is no sense to involve any management in the methodology/framework, this is not mentioned in any place. In any case, considering the scrum guide, we must let the team decide their own decisions about how they will be doing their job, based on that the C option is not making any sense

Ageed, developer team is self-managing. Business has no say in how developers carry out their tasks. But while Scrum teams are self-managing, their progress is very easy to measure using burndown and burnup charts. Not sure this equates to productivity though.

So I think A is correct, as Scrum guide mentioned cross-functional skills, meaning they're feature teams. You have to deliver a potentially shippable (meaning WORKING) feature after each sprint, you cannot do that with a component team.
