What is the tactic a Scrum Master should use to divide a group of 100 people into multiple Scrum Teams? (Choose the best answer)

The Scrum Guide emphasizes self-organization and self-management as core principles for the Scrum

Team, particularly the Developers: "They are self-managing, meaning they internally decide who

does what, when, and how." When forming multiple Scrum Teams from a large group, the Scrum

Master’s role is to facilitate and coach, not dictate. Option C aligns with this by empowering the

Developers to self-organize into teams, fostering ownership and collaboration. Option A (skill-based

division) is too prescriptive and risks creating component teams rather than cross-functional ones,

which Scrum favors. Option B shifts responsibility to the Product Owner, whose role is Product

Backlog management, not team formation. Thus, C is the best tactic.
