Editor's Notes
- #2 Abstract Scrum has been around since 1995, for more than two decades. Since the release of the Agile Manifesto in 2001, Scrum gradually become the most applied method for Agile software development. Depending on the source, 70-90% of all Agile teams worldwide say they use Scrum. Scrum has been a key tool for teams and organizations to deal with the increased criticality of software. The primary reason for the success is in the people using Scrum to help them manage and create software products, better. In a world where the dependence of businesses and society on software has increased even more, can we say we’re Done with Scrum? Or do we have many challenges in implementing Scrum? As complexity and unpredictability continue to increase? The key for future success is still Scrum – and we are not yet Done with Scrum. The key to employing Scrum professionally is creating Done Increments of product, where “Done” actually means “releasable in production.” This requires professional development, proper practices and standards, cross-functional collaboration, and inner-Sprint feedback loops. It might take another two decades to actually get there. In his session, Gunther Verheyen explores the system called ‘Scrum’, how it has helped, and how it can continue to help through its core purpose, the creation of Done product in a Sprint, or less. Gunther is a longtime Scrum professional. Having worked with Scrum.org, shepherding the group’s Professional series and leading its European operations, Gunther is now an independent Scrum caretaker.

- #13 Start with people. Give people a purpose to self-organize against. Give people a professionally fulfilling purpose, a purpose that creates pride. Wirh Scrum that purpose is the creation of a Done version of product, in a Sprint.

- #19 The development organization (or Development Team if none is available from the development organization) The Scrum Team, in a collaborative effort where the result is the common denominator of all members’ definitions The Product Owner as he/she is responsible for the product’s success The Scrum Master as he/she is responsible for the Development Team’s productivity Feedback Scrum.org: If the definition of “Done" is part of the conventions, standards or guidelines of the development organization, all Scrum Teams must follow it as a minimum. The Development Team of the Scrum Team can complement it with elements specific for the product or context. If “Done" for an increment is not a convention of the development organization, the Development Team of the Scrum Team must define a definition of "done" appropriate for the product. A professional organization defines quality. ‘Quality’ is ideally seen as product qualities.
- #20 What the Scrum Guide says: “If the definition of "done" for an increment is part of the conventions, standards or guidelines of the development organization, all Scrum Teams must follow it as a minimum. If "done" for an increment is not a convention of the development organization, the Development Team of the Scrum Team must define a definition of “done” appropriate for the product.” http://www.scrumguides.org/scrum-guide.html#artifact-transparency-done

- #22 Many definitions of Done focus only on development activities, where such activities in themselves hold no guarantee on high quality.
