Scrum Foundations
• Agile implements Lean principles and
dynamics.
• Scrum is one form of Agile, designed
initially for software development but
applicable to other kinds of work.
• Scrum is not the answer to everything.
• Scrum is based on a set of core values.

Manifesto for Agile Software Development 2001
We are uncovering better ways of developing
software by doing it and helping others do it.
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.

Scrum’s Values
All work performed in Scrum needs a firm basis of values to serve as a foundation for the team's
process and principles. Through the use of teamwork and continuous improvement, Scrum both creates these values and relies on them.
Focus. Because we focus on only a few things at a time, we work well together and produce
excellent work. We deliver valuable items sooner.
Courage. Because we are not alone, we feel supported and have more resources at our
disposal. This gives us the courage to undertake greater challenges.
Openness. As we work together, we practice expressing how we're doing, and what's in our way. We learn that it is good to express concerns, so that they can be addressed.
Commitment. Because we have great control over our own destiny, we become more
committed to success.
Respect. As we work together, sharing successes and failures, we come to respect each other,
and to help each other become worthy of respect.
If an organization will let Scrum do its work, they will discover the benefits from Scrum and will begin
to understand why these values are both needed by Scrum, and engendered by Scrum.

Scrum Execution
• Scrum organizes work into 1-4 week time
boxes called Sprints
• Each Sprint has 4 primary meetings
• The bulk of the time is spent creating
value in the form of a product
22
Sprint Time Box
S1
1-4 weeks
Steady cadence, fixed length Abnormal Termination If the Sprint Goal cannot or should not be reached for
unexpected reasons, stop and plan a new Sprint
Focus No one can change the Sprint plan except the Scrum Team to add or
remove a PBI

Goal 1: What?
• Which PBIs can we commit to? • What is our Sprint Goal? Ex. Build the shopping cart
Goal 2: How?
• Design implementation • What tasks can we identify for each story? • How long do we think each will take?
Attended by • Product Owner, Development Team, ScrumMaster • Other interested stakeholders
Time-box is 4 hours for a 2
week Sprint

Product Vision
• The Big Picture of how the product creates value
• Aligns team and business to the same goal
What is the name? Who is the target customer? What are the key benefits? What are the differentiating features?
33
Product Backlog
• Dynamic set of items to be done
• Prioritized
• Constantly in flux as the situation changes

For (target customer)
Who (statement of the need or opportunity)
The (product or project name) is a (category)
That (statement of key benefit – that is, compelling
reason to proceed)
Unlike (primary competitive alternative)
Our Product (statement of primary differentiation)
Example
For college students on a budget
Who want to get a degree without leaving home
The Online University of America
Is a complete college accessible via the internet
That provides courses, degrees and community
Unlike other physical colleges
Our product offers degree programs to people who might otherwise
not be able to afford or attend college due to the cost of moving and
living at a campus

User Stories
• User Stories are simple descriptions of
desired functionality
• User Stories have two attributes that are
helpful for planning: size and priority
• Stories are elaborated just-in-time for
implementation

Estimation
• Agile estimation is done at both the high
level and the low level
• Estimates are used for planning and for
tracking progress
• Estimates are done quickly, by the
Development Team
• Estimates are not commitments
47
Why Estimate?
Story Points • High Level
• Compare one story to another
• Forecast Releases and Sprints
Task Hours • Low Level
• 1-8 hours for a Story element
• Refine Sprint plan
• Track Sprint progress
