SCRUM
Born from a team game
Scrum for high performance teams
WHAT IS IT?
• Popular agile model
• Lightweight
• Easy to understand
• Difficult to master
Individuals and interactions over Processes
and tools
Working software over Comprehensive
documentation
Customer collaboration over Contract
negotiation
Responding to change over Following a plan
SCRUM DEFINES
• Practices
• Roles
• Events
• Artifacts
• Rules
Scrum for high performance teams
THE THREE PILLARS
• Transparency - giving and getting feedback
• Inspection - checking how well a project is progressing
• Adaptation - adjusting the process to minimise further
issues
It takes courage to be fully transparent and to
be fully responsible for the results you deliver.
AND
Scrum brings a binary understanding of what
is “Done”.
