Scrum Theory and Values
Scrum rests on empiricism and lean thinking, and is held together by five values. This chapter explains why Scrum is a lightweight, purposely incomplete framework for complex work and how its values enable the empirical pillars to function.
The Scrum Team and Accountabilities
The Scrum Team is a small, cohesive unit with three accountabilities and no sub-teams or hierarchies. This chapter covers the Product Owner, Scrum Master and Developers, and how the team is self-managing and cross-functional.
The Scrum Events
Scrum uses five events to create regularity and reduce the need for undefined meetings. This chapter covers the Sprint and the four events it contains, with their purposes and timeboxes.
Artifacts and Commitments
Scrum's three artifacts represent work or value and are designed to maximize transparency. This chapter covers the Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog and Increment, each with its commitment.
Done, Cancellation and Multiple Teams
This chapter draws together a few points that often trip up candidates: what the Definition of Done really provides, who may cancel a Sprint, and how several Scrum Teams work on one product.
