Team Definitions Redux

Definitions that I use for defining the main types of Scrum teams that contribute to a project.

Product Team

The team which owns the game and insures that integration of features, functions and production meet the needs and vision for the game.

Feature Teams

Teams that focus on vertical slices of core gameplay features for a game.

Functional Teams

Teams that focus on horizontal slices of the game (graphics, animation, audio, pipeline) in support of the feature or product teams.

Production Teams

Teams that fill production requirements of the product teams. Very similar in spirit to outsourcing in that iteration is a minimum. Assets are created for known features.
