,-,increased,*customer,responsiveness*.

,-,ability,to,*change,direction*,by,managing,changing,priorities.

What,is,*SCRUM*?,,ANS,-,-,A,variation,of,the,Agile,approach.

,-
,A,*lightweight,framework*,that,helps,people,,teams,and,organizations,*generate,value*,through,*adapti
ve,solutions*,for,*complex,problems*.

,-,Scrum,employs,an,*iterative*,,*incremental*,way,with,*adaptive,adjustments*.

,-,By,nature,,it,is,a,*prescriptive,framework*,(but,not,a,detailed,guideline,or,step-by-
step,methodical,process),with,an,*iterative,approach*,that,uses,*time-
boxed,intervals*,and,splits,projects,into,fixed,periods,called,*Sprints*.



AN,ALTERNATIVE,*DEFINITION,OF,SCRUM*.,,ANS,-
,*Iterative*,way,of,developing,software,in,a,Sprint,(a,time-
box,of,one,month,or,less),,*incrementally,delivering*,working,software,every,Sprint,,incorporating,custo
mer,*feedback*,on,the,working,software,,and,ensuring,that,the,right,*business,value*,is,delivered,in,each
,Sprint.




What,are,software,development,of,projects,of,*complex,problems*?,,ANS,-
,More,about,the,project,is,*Unknown*,than,is,known.

1.,*Requirements*:,Software,requirements,never,stop,changing.,The,customer,often,will,not,know,what,
he,or,she,wants,until,the,customer,can,actually,use,the,product.

2.,*Technology*:,This,is,an,ever-changing,variable.

3.,*People*:,The,people,aspect,is,very,unpredictable,(e.g.,,attrition,,leaves,of,absence,,skill,gaps).

,-,For,complex,projects,,*empirical,process,control*,,or,*empiricism*,,is,the,best-suited,approach.




Where,can,Scrum,be,used?,,ANS,-,Scrum,has,been,used,extensively,,worldwide,,to:



,-,*Research*,and,identify,viable,markets,,technologies,,and,product,capabilities;

,,-,*Develop,products*,and,enhancements;

,-,*Release,products*,and,enhancements,,as,frequently,as,many,times,per,day;

,-,*Develop,and,sustain,Cloud*,(online,,secure,,on-
demand),and,other,operational,environments,for,product,use;

,-,*Sustain,and,renew,products*.

Almost,everything,we,use,in,our,daily,lives,,as,individuals,and,societies.



*Scrum,Master*,environment,,ANS,-,Scrum,Master,to,*foster,an,environment*,where:

1.,A,*Product,Owner*,orders,the,work,for,a,complex,problem,into,a,*Product,Backlog*.

2.,The,*Scrum,Team*,turns,a,selection,of,the,work,into,an,*Increment*,of,value,during,a,*Sprint*.

3.,The,*Scrum,Team*,and,its,stakeholders,*inspect,the,results*,and,*adjust,for,the,next,Sprint*.

4.,*Repeat*.

What,Scrum,is,*based,on*?,*Empiricism*,and,*lean,thinking*.

-
,Empiricism,asserts,that,knowledge,comes,from,experience,and,making,decisions,based,on,what,is,observ
ed.

-,Lean,thinking,reduces,waste,and,focuses,on,the,essentials.



3,*Empirical,pillars*,of,Scrum?,,ANS,-,-,*transparency*.

,-,*inspection*.

,-,*adaptation*.




What,is,*Transparency*?,,ANS,-,-
,The,emergent,process,and,work,*must,be,visible*,to,those,*performing,the,work*,as,well,as,those,*recei
ving,the,work*.,With,Scrum,,important,decisions,are,based,on,the,perceived,state,of,its,three,formal,artif
acts.

,-,Transparency,is,the,*Quality,of,Scrum,Artifacts*(Sprint,Backlog,,Product,Backlog,,Increment).

,-,Artifacts,that,have,*low,transparency*,can,lead,to,decisions,that,*diminish,the,value,and,increase,risk*.




Key,feature,of,*Transparency*,,ANS,-
