Adherence to Core Scrum Principles True Scrum rigorously follows the foundational principles and roles defined by the original Scrum framework developed by Dr. Jeff Sutherland. This includes proper implementation of Scrum roles (Scrum Master, Product Owner, Development Team), events (Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, Sprint Retrospective), and artifacts (Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, Increment). Focus on Business Value True Scrum emphasizes delivering real business value with each iteration. This involves prioritizing features and work that have the highest impact on business objectives and customer satisfaction, ensuring that the Scrum team is always working on the most valuable tasks. Lean Practices and Hyper-Productivity True Scrum incorporates lean practices to eliminate waste and maximize productivity. This means focusing on high-efficiency workflows and fostering a hyper-productive environment where teams can deliver high-quality products quickly. Research indicates that happier teams are more productive, and True Scrum leverages this by creating supportive and motivating work environments. Transparency and Continuous Improvement True Scrum maintains high levels of transparency, ensuring that all stakeholders have a clear understanding of the project’s progress and challenges. This transparency supports continuous inspection and adaptation, allowing teams to make informed decisions and continuously improve their processes and products. Scalability without Compromise True Scrum can scale effectively without losing productivity. This involves maintaining the core principles of Scrum while scaling to larger teams or multiple teams working on the same product. The emphasis is on achieving linear scalability, where the addition of teams does not lead to diminished returns or increased complexity.
