Scrum Flashcards
What are the three pillars of Scrum
Transparency, Inspection, Adaptation
What is Transparency?
Transparency is the first pillar of Scrum. A common language referring to the process must be shared by all participants and those performing the work and inspecting the work through each sprint must share a common definition of “Done”. Everyone has insight as to what is occurring during the project and on same page.
What is Inspection?
Frequently inspecting scrum artifacts and progress toward a spring goal to detect variances. Not so frequent in which it hurts performance of work, but enough for skilled inspectors to look at a point of work.
What is Adaptation?
If an inspector determines that one or more aspects of a process deviate outside acceptable limits, and that the resulting product will be unacceptable, the process or the material being processed must be adjusted. An adjustment must be made as soon as possible to minimize further deviation.
Scrum prescribes four formal events for inspection and adaptation, as described in the Scrum Events section of this document: •Sprint Planning •Daily Scrum •Sprint Review •Sprint Retrospective
