There is a debate about the relative merits of cross-functional teams, where all of

the skills needed to craft a releasable increment are found

within the team, versus cross-skilled individuals, each of whom can perform all
aspects of the associated work. The latter can be seen as a potential
optimisation of the former. In Scrum, a Development Team member should simply be a
developer without a sub-role. A reasonable compromise can be to aim
for team members with "T-Shaped Skills", where each has a competence across all
areas, and a value-adding specialism that reflects a particular
capability or interest.
