Scrum is not about adopting tools, short term delivery that sacrifices long term value. Often, incorrectly, Scrum practitioners only focus on short term impediment removal. Scrum requires change agency that balances the short term with the long term.

A work related problem in Scrum could be anything that blocks or slows down progress, often addressed by self-managment of the Product Onwer and Product Developers. An impediment is a type of problem in Scrum and is anything that blocks or slows down progress and cannot be solved by the Developers & Product Owner.

It is crucial to be intentional, unrelenting, and tenacious about people, change, and communications. The change often includes people development, designs, workflows, processes, systems, attitudes, behaviors, language, habits, and the work climate. Culture is an emerging result.

An effective Scrum adoption uses an emergent approach, has effective change agents (including Supporters and other Leaders), and engages enthusiastic support from those affected by it or affecting it. Intentionality and daily progress with the adoption are crucial; the adoption work should not be the last thing that is worked on after everything else is finished.

Start with disciplined emergent change in a direction. Strive to make emergent change a normality; eventually it becomes part of the scheduled work. A Scrum adoption has a direction but not a predefined destination. The change is emergent and therefore not predictable; a north star lights the path but is not a fixed destination. Curiosity enables a pattern of sense, listen, learn, and adapt in a direction. It’s important to foster relationships and understand perspectives, and to listen to what is not being said and what is not happening. Change is hard work, yet fulfilling.

Scrum Practioners and Supporters try not to be victims and do not rely on others to change. They try to make continual marginal changes within their grasp and create continual positive momentum.

Ideally they are change catalysts and they radiate realistic positivity and possibilities.

Scrum is a framework for complex [12-17] Product delivery, where expertise is valuable but more than expertise is needed, and cause and effect are only coherent in retrospect. Scrum addresses the full Product lifecycle, which includes (but is not limited to) creating, replacing, sustaining, adapting, continuously changing, maintaining, and retiring Products or features. Scrum helps individuals, teams, and organizations become and stay flexible and create value by adapting to change.

Scrum fosters a setting for understanding and coherently responding to Stakeholder needs. Scrum’s iterative and incremental approach reduces risk and fosters continuous improvement. Scrum helps a team to strike a balance between exploring problems, discovering Stakeholder (including but not limited to customer) needs, delivering solutions, proactively managing risk, and validating value (user outcomes) and observing impact (business results).

Scrum helps a team to strike a balance between exploring problems, discovering Stakeholder (including but not limited to customer) needs, delivering solutions, proactively managing risk, validating value (user outcomes) and observing impact (business results).

A risk is any factor that could result in a future adverse consequence. Since risk exposure remains unpredictable even as time elapses, anticipation is key. Risk exposure can include (but is not limited to) market risk, problem-solution fit, Product-market fit, technology, signal detection, responsiveness, compliance, remediation, poor trade-off decisions, etc. Scrum supports proactive risk management and opportunity discovery.
