Scrum:
A Simple, Team-Based Framework for Solving Complex
Problems
Do
Create
Alignment
Scrum implements a few simple patterns
(Here’s how I think about it)
• Inspect and Adapt
• at regular intervals
• Produce something that might
be valuable to customers/users
• at regular intervals
• A dedicated team solves the
whole problem
• from “idea” to “done”
• One voice speaks for the
customer
• The product owner represents all
outside interests into the team
• A coach helps the whole team
get better
• The Scrum Master helps everyone
improve
• Leadership guides and
supports…
• and knows when to stay out of the
way!

solve complex problems

Scrum is easy, but Scrum is hard
• Simple framework
• Few roles, artefacts and
constraints
• Technical: Many organizations
cannot deliver customer value
every month
• Organizational: Bringing the
people together crosses
organization boundaries
• Decision Making: Delegated into
the Scrum Team
• Conversation and Alignment:
more from what to why
Summary: How to do more that matters
• Every week:
• Ask yourself the 6 questions of Personal Agility
• Visualize the answers on your Priorities Map
• To have more impact at work
• Ask your stakeholders – what really matters?
• Share Personal Agility and support the people around you
