These are the core guidelines for applying the framework and must be used in all Scrum projects.
They are:
Control Over Empirical Process
This principle highlights the core of the Scrum philosophy, based on three main ideas:
- Transparency
- Inspection
- Adaptation
It supports learning through experimentation, especially when the problem is not well defined or there are no clear solutions.
Self-organization
Today’s workers generate significantly greater value when they are self-organized. This leads to:
- Full commitment from the team
- Shared responsibility
- And importantly, an innovative and creative environment that fosters growth
Collaboration
Focused on the three fundamental dimensions of collaborative work:
- Awareness
- Articulation
- Appropriation
It also promotes project management as a shared process of value creation, where teams work and interact not only with each other but also with the customer and other business stakeholders to deliver maximum value.
Value-based Prioritization
This principle emphasizes Scrum’s focus on delivering the highest business value from the beginning of the project and throughout its duration.
Time-boxing (durata predeterminata)
In Scrum, time is considered a limiting constraint and is used to help manage project planning and execution effectively. The elements with predetermined durations (time-boxed) include:
- Sprint
- Daily Standup Meeting
- Sprint Planning Meeting
- Sprint Review Meeting
- Sprint Retrospective Meeting
Iterative Development
This principle highlights how to better manage change and build products that meet customer needs. It also outlines the responsibilities of the Product Owner and the organization related to iterative development.
