3 pillars of Scrum

• Transparency– Definition of Done– Common language

• Inspection• Adaptation (to minimize deviation from the

goal)

People

• Scrum Team– Product Owner (PO)– Development Team (DT)– Scrum Master (SM)

• Stakeholders

Product Owner

• Responsible for Product Backlog (PB)• Expresses PB• Prioritizing PB

Can delegate above work to DT, but is still responsible

Development Team

• Self-organizing. No one tells them how to turn PB into the Increment

• Cross-functional• Only one title – “Developer”• No sub-teams• The whole team is held responsible• Only DT creates the Increment

Size: 3-9 people
