Context: In the light of the swift and iterative nature of Agile SoftwareDevelopment (ASD) practices, establishing deeper insights into capabilitymeasurement within the context of team formation is crucial, as the capabilityof individuals and teams can affect team performance and productivity. Althougha former Systematic Literature Review (SLR) synthesized the state of the art inrelation to capability measurement in ASD with a focus on selecting individualsto agile teams, and capabilities related to team performance and success,determining to what degree the SLR's results apply to practice can provideprogressive insights to both research and practice.  Objective: Our study investigates how agile practitioners perceive therelevance of individual and team level measures for characterizing thecapability of an agile team and its members. Furthermore, to scrutinizevariations in practitioners' perceptions, our study further analyzesperceptions across stratified demographic groups.  Method: We undertook a Web-based survey using a questionnaire built based onthe capability measures identified from a previously conducted SLR.  Results: Our survey responses (60) indicate that 127 individual and 28 teamcapability measures were considered as relevant by the majority ofpractitioners. We also identified seven individual and one team capabilitymeasure that have not been previously characterized by our SLR. The surveyedpractitioners suggested that an agile team member's responsibility andquestioning skills significantly represent the member's capability.  Conclusion: Results from our survey align with our SLR's findings. Measuresassociated with social aspects were observed to be dominant compared totechnical and innovative aspects. Our results can support agile practitionersin their team composition decisions.
