Individuals and interactions OVER processes and tools
Working software OVER comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration OVER contract negotiation
Responding to change OVER following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the
left more.
We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping
others do it. Through this work we have come to value:

progress toward a
Sprint Goal to detect
undesirable variances.

If the team
determines that an
aspect of a process
deviates outside
acceptable limits, the
process must be
adjusted.

The Sprint
8Prageeth Sandakalum, CSM®, CSPO®,
During the Sprint:
 No changes are made that would endanger the Sprint Goal.
 Quality goals do not decrease.
 Scope may be clarified and re-negotiated between the Product
Owner and Development Team as more is learned.
The heart of Scrum is a Sprint, a time-box of one month or less during which a
“Done”, useable, and potentially releasable product Increment is created.
(Scrum Guide Definition of a Sprint)
Each Sprint has a goal of what is to be built, a design, and flexible plan that will guide
building it, the work, and the resultant product increment.
