Great teams are at the heart of the scrum philosophy. In the original Harvard Business Review paper that inspired the creation of Scrum, “The New New Product Development Game” Professors Takeuchi and Nonaka observed that one of the characteristics of great teams is transcendence. Transcendence is the spirit of a great scrum team. They have a sense of purpose beyond the ordinary that helps them to achieve great things and not be stuck in the average. How do you go about building such great scrum teams. Are they even possible? As much as there is art to this, there are also concrete steps that we can take build such great scrum teams. Scrum values provide a solid foundation and the research at MIT suggest some concrete steps in general to build great teams. Great scrum teams are possible !

Through this work we have come to value: 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.
- 3. the bottom line In the end, all business operations can be reduced to three words; people, product and profits. Unless you've got a good team, you cant do much with the other two. Lee Iococca
- 5. team building not just an art At MIT’s Human Dynamics Laboratory, we have identified the elusive group dynamics that characterize high-performing teams—those blessed with the energy, creativity, and shared commitment to far surpass other teams. These dynamics are observable, quantifiable, and measurable. And, perhaps most important, teams can be taught how to strengthen them. Alex “Sandy” Pentland, Director of MIT’s Human Dynamics Laboratory
- 6. scrum values are part of core scrum
- 8. RESPECT | COMMITMENT | FOCUS | COURAGE | OPENNESS scrum values
- 9. Without respect there is no meaningful positive communication visible in actions and conduct authentic scrum requires respectful interactions As we work together, sharing successes and failures, we come to respect each other and to help each other become worthy of respect.
- 10. if you cannot commit you cannot act authentic scrum is not possible without everyone involved paying attention to and keeping commitments Because we have great control over our own destiny, we are more committed to success.

- 12. Because we work as a team, we feel supported and have more resources at our disposal. This gives us the courage to undertake greater challenges. takes courage to call out problems, identify impediments, ask for help, receive help, and offer help a ship is safe to harbor. But that’s not what ships are for
- 13. openness - as we work together, we express how we're doing, what's in our way, and our concerns so they can be addressed. high level of 'transparency‘ instead of asking "why should I share this information?", ask: "why wouldn't I share this info?"
