Scrum (definition) Scrum (n): A framework within which people can
address complex adaptive problems, while
productively and creatively delivering products of
the highest possible value.
Scrum is... Lightweight, Simple to Understand and Difficult to
Master
Scrum is not... A process, technique or definitive method
Scrum (simple answer) A framework within which one can employ various
processes and techniques. Clarifies the relative
efficacy of your product management and work
techniques. Continuously improves product, team
and working environment.
Scrum (parts) Scrum Teams (roles), events, artifacts and rules. Each
serve a specific purpose essential to use and
success.
Past/Present Use of Scrum 1. Research and identify viable markets, technologies,
and product capabilities;
2. Develop products and enhancements;
3. Release products and enhancements, as frequently
as many times per day;
4. Develop and sustain Cloud (online, secure, on-
demand) and other operational environments for
product use; and,
5. Sustain and renew products.
, Essence of Scrum Small teams of people, highly flexible and adaptive.
They collaborate and interoperate through
sophisticated development architectures and target
release environments.
Develop or Development in Scrum These words refer to complex work.
Foundation of Scrum Theory Founded on empirical process control theory, or
empiricism. Empiricism asserts that knowledge comes
from experience and making decisions based on
what is known. Scrum employs an iterative,
incremental approach to optimize predictability and
control risk.
Three Pillars of Scrum Transparency, Inspection and Adaptation
Transparency Pillar Significant aspects of the process must be visible to
those responsible for the outcome.
Transparency requires those aspects be defined by a
common standard so observers share a
common understanding of what is being seen.
Transparency Examples - A common language referring to the process must
be shared by all participants
- Those performing the work and those inspecting
the resulting increment must share a common
definition of "Done".
Inspection Pillar Frequent inspection of Scrum artifacts and progress
towards Sprint Goal to detect undesirable variances.
Most beneficial when performed by Skilled Inspector
at point of work.
Adaptation If inspector determines aspects deviate outside
acceptable limits, and resulting product will be
unacceptable, the process or the material being
processed must be adjusted. An adjustment must be
made as soon as possible to minimize further
deviation.
