2-2 Journal: Scrum Overview QSO-435 Nate Windham March 15, 2024

Scrum is a collection of activities and ideas that extends beyond just a methodology to enable agile project management. Scrum is commonly referred to as a framework instead of a methodology since its purpose is to offer a structure for work organization rather than a more detailed, well-defined, and prescribed approach (Cobb, 2023). Decisions are made by an empirical process that relies on experimentation, experience, and observation, which supports the idea of working iteratively. Scrum revolves around three core pillars: transparency, inspection, and adaptation. Transparency is a fundamental Scrum value that revolves around direct and honest communication. Several aspects of Scrum, such as the Sprint Backlog, Product Backlog, Sprint Review, and Definition of Done (DoD), exhibit transparency. The Sprint Backlog is a dynamic list that contains all of the tasks that a team has committed to completing during a sprint. It helps the team identify its priorities. A prioritized list of features and needs is called a Product Backlog, which helps the team stay on track with project objectives. Sprint Review serves as a venue for showcasing completed work, giving stakeholders the opportunity to assess it and offer insightful input. As for DOD, it is a precise set of standards that define task completion and remove any room for interpretation (Three Pillars of Scrum: Understanding Scrum’s Core Principles, n.d.). The second pillar, inspection, is centered on regular assessment and examination. By doing routine assessments, teams may spot variances, which promotes growth and keeps the project on track for success. Continuous improvement is fueled by inspection in Scrum. Teams can make well-informed modifications to their process by routinely reviewing both the product and the procedure. Because Scrum is iterative, every inspection point flows into the following sprint, enabling small improvements and the

integration of stakeholder feedback (Three Pillars of Scrum: Understanding Scrum’s Core Principles, n.d.). The third essential Scrum principle, adaptation, is closely related to inspection. The team modifies its tactics in light of the new information after inspecting the process and product. Teams are equipped to quickly adjust course when they learn new facts and comprehend the dynamics of their project better. The advantages of adaptability are numerous and include resource optimization, early problem detection, product creation, a culture of innovation, and alignment with shifting demands (Three Pillars of Scrum: Understanding Scrum’s Core Principles, n.d.). Scrum guarantees increased team productivity, quality output, problem-solving skills, and timeliness. Nevertheless, Scrum teams encounter many difficulties when putting the Scrum framework into practice. For example, a common issue faced by Product Owners is time constraints. This could result from managing several products at once or from engaging with customers excessively, which takes focus away from the requirements of the team. Splitting the Product Owner's responsibilities between two roles is another potential issue. Conflicts of interest might arise when a Product Owner oversees the team as well. It is crucial to successfully balance both roles. By managing their time well and concentrating on high-impact tasks, Product Owners can prioritize time management as a solution to some problems that may arise. Adding to this, having a captivating vision that motivates the team is another essential quality they must possess. (Vasco, 2022).
