 SCRUM DEFINITION
• The target of the scrum is to generate value: don’t forget that
you need to look at value first;
• Scrum isn’t a methodology.
• Scrum is a lightweight framework for asses complex
problems: if you don’t have complexity may be better to use
other instruments, no?
• Scrum asses this complexity through adaptive solutions.

 SCRUM THEORY 1
• Scrum is based on Empiricism and Lean Thinking;
• Empiricism is about an experience-based approach ;
• Lean Thinking is about preventing waste ;
• Scrum is an iterative and incremental approach. This helps to
prevent risk; in addition, this approach reflects Empiricism
and Lean thinking;

 SCRUM THEORY 2
• The three pillars of empricism are:
• Transparency is about making the work visible;
• Inspection is about people who must inspect the work to
detect a problem; Without transparency, you didn’t have
an inspection;
• Adaptation is about fixing the process or the output of
the process if it is unacceptable.

 SCRUM VALUES 1
• The Five scrum value are:
• Commitment is to the goal and to support each other in
the team. We will look that Scrum is all about goals to
achieve and self-organized teams that need to help each
other.
• Focus is about people who need to focus on the actual
sprint looking at the goals of the scrum team. This is
important because the work is organized by sprint and
people need to achieve the target in the timeboxed sprint.

 SCRUM VALUES 2
• Openness is all about transparency (one of the three
pillars of the scrum) and the agreement on the work to do
between the team and all the stakeholders.
• Respect is essential because Scrum work with a self-
organized team, and this kind of teamwork well only if
there is respect between each other.
• Courage is about accomplishing the right thing. Maybe to
find the right solution even if it’s not simple.
