This document discusses the core values of Scrum: commitment, focus, openness, respect, and courage. Commitment refers to dedicating maximum effort towards goals like quality, collaboration, and transparency. Focus is on the most important tasks now and using simplicity. Openness means transparency in work, problems, and learnings and collaborating with stakeholders. Respect involves valuing people, opinions, users, and the environment. Courage is about admitting realities, sharing information to help others, and changing direction when needed.
