The six Scrum principles
As we mentioned above, the scrum methodology centers around six key principles that can be used to sculpt the workflows of your team. The six principles are: empirical process control, self-organization, time-boxing, value-based prioritization, iterative development, and collaboration. Importantly, these are different from the five scrum values – courage, focus, commitment, respect, and openness – which we'll cover later on.
The scrum process was conceived as a “lightweight framework that helps people, teams, and organizations generate value through adaptive solutions for complex problems,” as stated in the official scrum guide. Approaching a complex problem with a lightweight framework sounds counterintuitive, but scrum’s wide adoption means that it does so successfully. Scrum is iterative, adaptable, and, therefore, effective at dealing with complexity and change. Scrum also relies on culture, nurturing a set of values and principles that keep team members motivated and focused on goals.
Scrum is a framework that helps teams work together. Much like a rugby team (where it gets its name) training for the big game, scrum encourages teams to learn through experiences, self-organize while working on a problem, and reflect on their wins and losses to continuously improve. While the scrum i’m talking about is most frequently used by software development teams, its principles and lessons can be applied to all kinds of teamwork. This is one of the reasons scrum is so popular. Often thought of as an agile project management framework, scrum describes a set of meetings, tools, and roles that work in concert to help teams structure and manage their work.
