Scrum Values and Principles

Scrum Values and Principles form the ethical foundation of the Scrum framework, guiding behaviors and decisions of Scrum Teams. Scrum Values: 1. Commitment: Team members commit to achieving sprint goals and delivering value. They dedicate themselves to continuous improvement. 2. Courage: Scrum teams demonstrate courage by tackling complex problems, making difficult decisions, and being transparent about progress and impediments. 3. Focus: The team concentrates on the work of the Sprint and the product goals, avoiding distractions that might reduce effectiveness. 4. Openness: Team members practice transparency about their work, challenges, and progress. Information flows freely within the team and with stakeholders. 5. Respect: Team members respect each other's expertise, backgrounds, and perspectives, fostering a collaborative environment. Scrum Principles: 1. Empiricism: Scrum embraces knowledge gained from experience and making decisions based on observation. The three pillars of empiricism are transparency, inspection, and adaptation. 2. Self-organization: Teams choose how best to accomplish their work, leading to greater innovation, creativity, and commitment. 3. Collaboration: Stakeholders and team members work together throughout the development process. 4. Value-based Prioritization: Delivering maximum business value early in the process guides prioritization decisions. 5. Time-boxing: Scrum uses fixed time periods (Sprints) to create regularity and help teams focus. 6. Iterative Development: Products evolve through repeated cycles of work, allowing for frequent feedback and adaptation. These values and principles create a healthy team environment where trust flourishes and complex product development can succeed. When Scrum Teams embody these values and follow these principles, they become more effective, deliver better products, and experience greater satisfaction in their work.
