✨ 5 SCRUM VALUES IN APA ✨
Successful Scrum depends on the entire team embodying specific values: commitment, courage, focus, openness, and respect. Without relationships built on these values, the Scrum team can’t sustain productivity.
Because Scrum isn’t only about delivering quality software. It’s about creating a great place to work—a place where people can take pride in their job and themselves.
APA would love to introduce you to these values and invite you to work with us following these ones.
✅ Courage - “Scrum team members have the courage to do the right thing and work on tough problems.”
Scrum values the courage of each individual contributor to the team. While we may not always think of courage in the context of an office job, there are certain circumstances that require some bravery.
For example, it takes courage to point out a mistake, even when correcting it will cost your team some time. It takes even more courage if that mistake was made by a superior. Having courage also means tackling difficult challenges head-on rather than procrastinating or passing them off to a colleague.
The team members support each other in doing the right thing and in taking informed risks so that we may learn and improve along our path to greatness including:
➖ Admitting that nobody is perfect.
➖ Delivering undone versions of the product.
➖ Sharing all possible information to help the team and the organization.
➖ Admitting there are no perfect requirements capturing and facing fast changes is the reality.
✅ Focus - “Everyone focuses on the work of the Sprint and the goals of the Scrum Team.”
Everyone focuses on the work of the Sprint and the goals of the Scrum Team. When we are dealing with complexity and unpredictability, the focus is essential in order to get anything meaningful done. Because we focus on only a few things at a time, we deliver the most valuable items sooner. The Scrum framework includes elements that help promote focus.
➖ The team should focus on having a “Done Increment” at least by the end of every Sprint.
➖ Each scrum role has distinct accountability, which helps individuals know what to focus on as their priority. That ultimately contributes to team outcomes.
➖ The scrum team focuses on a Sprint Goal to guide the team in what to deliver
➖ The product backlog is a prioritized order, and that creates focus on what is the most important thing to do next.
➖ Time-boxed sprint events create a sense of urgency and help us focus on the purpose of the event.
➖ The Scrum events and artifacts help create focus on inspecting progress and new information, so the team can adapt at frequent enough intervals...
✅ Commitment - “People personally commit to achieving the goals of the Scrum Team.”
Scrum team members must be committed to success and be willing to create realistic goals and stick to them. Every scrum role commit to the success of the team, not just caring about our individual achievements, that creates an environment of trust, productive problem solving, and high team standards by:
➖ The Product Owner demonstrates commitment by making the best decisions to optimize the value of the product, not simply trying to please every stakeholder.
➖ The Scrum Master demonstrates the commitment by upholding the Scrum Framework, which means we don’t extend the Sprint or other time-boxes under pressure to get to “Done.”
➖ The Scrum Master demonstrates a commitment by upholding the Scrum Framework, which means we don’t extend the Sprint or other time-boxes under pressure to get to “Done.”
➖ The Scrum Master demonstrates a commitment by removing impediments that the Scrum Team cannot resolve themselves, rather than tolerating the status quo in the organization.
➖ The Development Team demonstrates a commitment by creating an Increment that meets their definition of “Done,” not something that is almost done.
✅ Openness - “The Scrum Team and its stakeholders agree to be open about all the work and the challenges with performing the work.”
Scrum values openness and honestly communicating to all stakeholders without fear. This means telling a team member honestly, if something needs to be re-done and receiving that kind of communication graciously, trusting that everyone is working toward the same goals.
This value of openness also means that project stakeholders are expected to communicate promptly and honestly, if, for example, changes in timeline, resources, or product needs occur.
The empiricism of Scrum requires transparency, openness by making known the arrangement of our work, our progress, our learning, and our problems. The team should open to collaborating across disciplines and skills, collaborating with stakeholders and the wider environment, to share feedback and learn from one another. The Scrum framework includes elements that help promote openness.
➖ Limiting a Sprint to 30 days or less promotes openness to changing direction based on new information.
➖ The Sprint Goal is fixed and provides guidance, but the plan for meeting the Sprint Goal is open to change based on what the Development Team is learning.
➖ A transparent Product Backlog demonstrates openness with our stakeholders about what is planned for the product (and what is not planned) and what is likely to be next.
➖ The Sprint Retrospective’s focus on continuous improvement of our team’s interactions, processes, and tools, invites an openness to feedback, reflection, and changing how we work.
➖ The Sprint Review demonstrates openness to sharing progress with our stakeholders, as well as openness to feedback and collaboration with them.
✅ Respect - “Scrum Team members respect each other to be capable, independent people.”
Scrum generally consists of collaborative and self-organizing teams, but each member is independent in the sense that no one is constantly checking his or her work. It is assumed that each individual is capable of doing her job without constant oversight or “checking in” by a manager or coworker.
This also means encouraging and expecting people to ask for help when they need it, trusting that every team member will be ready to help since each is committed to the project’s success.
As a part of the Scrum team, you should respect colleagues, their decisions, and their experience. As an efficient team member, you should also respect diversity. You should respect your stakeholders by not building anything in which people are not interested. You need to equally respect your users by resolving their problems. As a responsible team member, you need to completely adhere to the Scrum framework and the associated Scrum roles. As a part of the Scrum team, you should respect each other’s skills, knowledge, and insights.
👉 By adopting these 5 Scrum values in the project, eventually, you are making your team follow the basic Scrum tenets. Following these values helps in harmonizing the team so they cooperate with each other to create unique ideas for enhanced results.
👉 Even the creators of Scrum describe it as “simple to understand, but difficult to master,” so go easy on yourself and your team as you work to implement the Scrum values. These values can be implemented right away, but like any worthwhile skills, these five values may take years to perfect.
