The Developers are the people in the Scrum Team who are committed to creating any aspect of a usable Increment each Sprint. The Developers are accountable for organizing and managing their work. Only the Developers can decide how to perform the work during the Sprint1. The Developers plan the work necessary to create an Increment that meets the Definition of Done during the Sprint Planning event. This is often done by decomposing Product Backlog items into smaller work items of one day or less. How this is done is at the sole discretion of the Developers2. The Developers also inspect their progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt their plan during the Daily Scrum1. The Developers are self-managing, which means they decide internally who does what, when, and how1. The Scrum Master, the Product Owner, the team manager, and the subject matter experts are not involved in determining how the work is performed during the Sprint. They may provide guidance, feedback, or support, but they do not interfere with the Developers’ autonomy and accountability134. References:
