4. # 5: who do you want on your team?
Prince: everything in dressing room covered in plastic until he unwrapped it
The Funk Brothers MoTown, ~100 #1 songs

Great value in aptitude, but prefer attitude more
Be willing to learn, open to suggestions
What you know will become obvious
No need to tear down others

Scrum values
Energy
Not soul-sucking Dementors
Empathy
Patience, understanding
Things go wrong, show support
Curiosity
Learn new skills, help others learn
Friendliness
Respect
Hardly specific to Scrum! And yes, a challenge.

Size: not more than 9, probably 5-7

3 programmers : 1 tester : 0.5 specialists
But all contribute everywhere!
Deep specialists might be on multiple teams
Eg: UX expert
Everyone else: 100% on one team

8. #6: Team Lineup Can ScrumMaster be on multiple teams?
Some: 1 ScrumMaster = 1 Team
Many organizations: 1 ScrumMaster leads two experienced teams
