The document describes a typical project where a customer requests an object with 4 legs, 2 ears, 1 trunk, 1 tail, and 2 tusks to be delivered in 6 months. After 6 months, the project team delivers an object meeting all requirements plus a bonus pumpkin. However, the stakeholders were expecting an elephant and are unhappy with the delivered object. The document then discusses adopting agile and scrum practices like collaboration and feedback loops to better meet stakeholder expectations. It provides an overview of scrum roles, events, artifacts, and principles like transparency, inspection, and adaptation.

12. Scrum

13. Scrum is not a process or a technique for
building products.

14. It is a framework within which you can employ various
processes and techniques.
The Scrum framework consists of Scrum Teams and their
associated roles, events, artifacts, and rules. Each component
within the framework serves a specific purpose and is essential
to Scrum’s success and usage.
The rules of Scrum bind together the events, roles, and
artifacts, governing the relationships and interaction between
them.

Scrum is founded on empirical process control theory, or empiricism. Empiricism
asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what
is known.

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan

the product Increment and realizing the Sprint Goal.

33. User Story – (Not a Part of Scrum Framework, taken from XP)It is a token for communication between the
Product Owner and the Dev Team.
It has 3 parts
