The Scrum Guide

The Scrum Guide defines Scrum as “A framework within which people can address complex adaptive problems, while productively and creatively delivering products of the highest possible value.” This reading will review the Scrum pillars and values and then provide links to the Scrum Guide and further reading about Scrum. 

Pillars and values 

To recap, every person on a Scrum team subscribes to the three pillars and the five values of Scrum. The three pillars of Scrum are: 

  • Transparency 

  • Inspection

  • Adaptation 

The five values of Scrum are: 

  • Courage 

  • Commitment 

  • Focus

  • Openness 

  • Respect 

In order for a scrum team to succeed, it is incredibly important that every team member follow these core pillars and values.

Scrum only has a few rules and practices that are easy to follow. It is also easy to understand. However, Scrum can be challenging to master because mastery depends on being able to embody, live, and promote the pillars and values of Scrum.
