Members Selection Criteria

Criteria set by business stakeholders to determine the composition of the Scrum Guidance Body, including who should participate, their roles and accountabilities, how many members are needed, and the skills and experience required.

Key Points

  • Defined by business stakeholders to guide selection of the Scrum Guidance Body (SGB).
  • Clarifies membership composition: roles, responsibilities, and total number of members.
  • Specifies required competencies, such as domain expertise, agile experience, and decision authority.
  • Promotes objective, transparent, and strategy-aligned governance; reviewed and updated as needs evolve.

Example

Before launching a multi-team agile program, business stakeholders create Members Selection Criteria for the Scrum Guidance Body. They require seven members, including an agile coach, a product management lead, a compliance officer, a security architect, and a DevOps lead. The criteria state that each member must have at least three years of agile experience, authority to make policy decisions, and familiarity with the companys regulatory environment. Using these criteria, candidates are evaluated and the final SGB is formed.

PMP Example Question

Which statement best describes Members Selection Criteria in an agile organization?

  1. A checklist used by the Development Team to accept completed user stories.
  2. Stakeholder-defined rules specifying who should serve on the Scrum Guidance Body, their roles, the number of members, and required skills.
  3. A method for prioritizing the product backlog based on business value and urgency.
  4. Guidelines for inviting stakeholders to Sprint Reviews and setting meeting agendas.

Correct Answer: B - Stakeholder-defined criteria for selecting the Scrum Guidance Body

Explanation: Members Selection Criteria are created by business stakeholders to define SGB membership, roles, headcount, and necessary competencies; they are not acceptance criteria, prioritization methods, or meeting rules.

ICS/OT Cybersecurity Fundamentals — Security Built for Industrial Systems

Industrial control systems cannot be secured like ordinary IT. A forced reboot, aggressive scan, or incompatible patch can interrupt production and create real safety consequences. Effective OT security begins with understanding the systems, constraints, and risks unique to industrial environments.

This course gives IT professionals, engineers, operators, and security practitioners a practical foundation in ICS threats, zone and conduit design, risk assessment, passive asset visibility, and vendor evaluation. You will learn how IEC 62443, NIST CSF, and MITRE ATT&CK for ICS apply where availability and safety come first.

Eight reconstructed incidents—including Stuxnet, Triton, Ukraine 2015, Colonial Pipeline, and PIPEDREAM—show how attackers move through OT environments, what they target, and which defenses could have changed the outcome.

Watch the course preview, then build the vocabulary, frameworks, and judgment needed to take credible first steps in ICS/OT cybersecurity.
