Scrum is an idea. The word scrum comes from the game of rugby, A whole team working together. They're singular mission is to move the ball down the field. The idea grows out of a few important truths about team development and product quality. Self organizing teams produce the best architectures and designs, especially with fast feedback loops between the people developing the product and the people who use the product. And frequent delivery of small batches of high quality code is the best go to market strategy and a fast evolving market, and is the best risk mitigation strategy in a complex problem environment. I think of Scrum like a set of agreements that a team can adopt. We agreed to focus to the best of our ability, to be open about our challenges and act with courage to work through them. We are committed to the goals of the team, respectful of each other and our situation. And we agreed to work together like that rugby team toward long term goals in increments. That means rather than plan and build and launch a product over the period of say a year, we plan and build and release usable increments of a product in cycles of a month or less. A Scrum Team's calendar includes repeated cycles of planning, release, retrospective. A Scrum Teams stakeholders can clearly understand what needs doing, what is being done and what is already done and in the hands of end users. A Scrum team's job titles include all the necessary skills to create the product that might be designed. Marketing, coding, testing, copywriting, data science, all of it. But in particular, there's one person trusted to decide the order in which the features will be released, and others who are trusted to achieve a high quality work environment and high value user centric features. Scrum isn't easy. Actually, it's rarely achieved. Many companies claim to be doing Scrum, but most struggle because it is so different than the conventional bureaucratic ways of working. When I teach people about Scrum, I want them to understand more than just the parts of the Scrum framework, but understand why the framework is designed the way it is so that their best equipped to alley or adapt the idea for their own work and for their own teams.

Working in Sprints, iterations, or rotations is natural. There are day, night, week, and time iterations. A strong understanding of how nature operates will allow you to work in a healthy and safe environment. You understand when to start, stop, reflect, and improve. As a result, it will help you stay productive. #agile #scrum

Agile is not about attitudes, behaviors or mindsets, it is about solving problems in a modern way. You cannot become agile by using tools, processes and frameworks. You become agile by solving real problems with or without tools. #Agile #Scrum #Product

Scrum is a framework that teams use to self-manage and work towards a common goal. It describes a set of meetings, tools, and roles for efficient project delivery. Much like a sports team practicing for a big match, Scrum practices allow teams to self-manage, learn from experience, and adapt to change. #scrum #scrumprocess
