T-Shaped

An individual with deep mastery in one specialty and practical, broad skills across other areas the team needs, enabling collaboration and flexibility. Related terms: I-Shaped and Broken Comb.

Key Points

  • Vertical of the T = deep expertise; horizontal of the T = broad, collaborative skills.
  • Supports swarming, pairing, and faster flow by reducing single points of failure.
  • Fits well in cross-functional agile teams and adapts to shifting priorities.
  • Differs from I-Shaped (narrow depth only) and is related to Broken Comb (multiple depths).

Example

On a Scrum team, a tester who is an expert in automated testing also writes basic API checks, reviews pull requests, helps refine user stories, and pitches in on exploratory testing so the team completes sprint work without waiting on a single specialist.

PMP Example Question

Which team member profile best exemplifies a T-Shaped skill set in an agile project?

  1. A specialist who performs only tasks in their niche and hands off the rest.
  2. A contributor with deep expertise in one area and enough breadth to help across multiple team tasks.
  3. A team organized strictly by roles with minimal overlap of responsibilities.
  4. A manager who coordinates dependencies between several teams.

Correct Answer: B — deep in one area, broad across others

Explanation: T-Shaped means strong depth in one specialty with broad, usable skills to collaborate and take on work beyond the primary discipline.
