Scrum-Summary


I know it’s been so long time I wrote some article in my blog. I will make sure to write one article per month starting from next year. Would like to share a scrum-summary which is written in PSM workshop (Dec 2015).

Have attended a PSM workshop conducted by Hiren Doshi, great discussions and good learning. At the end of the workshop, our trainer has asked us to write summary of what we have learnt in workshop and present it to all participants. 

Here is what I have written…

  • Scrum is one of the agile frameworks developed by Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland based on agile values and principles. It can be used for software development.
  • Scrum is an iterative and empirical process. Scrum recommends 3 roles, 5 events and 3 artefacts.
  • Scrum roles: Scrum master, Product owner and Development team
  • Scrum Events: Sprint Planning, Daily scrum, Sprint review, Sprint retrospective, and the sprint
  • Scrum Artifacts: Product backlog, sprint backlog, product increment
  • Scrum Values: Focus, Courage, Commitment, openness, respect
  • Empiricism: Transparency, inspection and adaptation
  • Scrum helps in surfacing issues/impediments as early as possible.
  • It helps people to collaborate on daily basis in daily scrum and create an environment of early feedback.
  • Good collaboration between development team and business as PO is representing business side.
  • Product feedback in Sprint review, People and process feedback from team in Sprint retrospection.
  • Information radiators (Task Board) helps to create transparency with in the team and outside the team.


Hope this information helps for individuals who is looking for basics of scrum. Please add your points if i have missed any...Thank you.
