El Scrum Master es un líder servicial, un rol transformador, un rol de cambio. Su forma de actuar es indirecta, facilitando en todo momento la autogestión del Equipo Scrum para lograr el Objetivo del Producto. Es invisible porque actúa ayudando al éxito de los demás usando diferentes posturas o formas de actuar, pero presente porque acompaña durante todo el proceso de crecimiento del Equipo Scrum de diversas maneras, ayudando a revelar, pero no necesariamente resolviendo. El Scrum Master brinda servicios a todo el Equipo Scrum y la Organización. Lo importante del Scrum Master no es que hace sino como lo hace. Un Scrum Master es exitoso cuando el Equipo Scrum es exitoso.

In no more than a few years, competition increased tremendously along with the emergence of new technologies.

The Product Owner in Scrum originally called the ‘agile product manager’ describes the responsibilities necessary to focus the team on delivering value.

In this webinar with Pragmatic Institute, Dave West CEO and Product Owner, Scrum.org will address these questions showing how the Product Owner naturally fits into an agile product delivery organization.

There have been a few changes in Scrum Guide 2020, and I am really excited. These changes focus on ‘Values’ within the framework of Scrum...

Asking questions rather than prescribing solutions and designing an alliance to shift the focus from “who” to “what” could make it easier for people to embrace objective truths.

On today's episode of YOUR DAILY SCRUM: Can one person be both the Scrum Master and Product Owner on a Scrum Team?

When I made the transition from traditional project management to agility and Scrum, I was excited to step out of the chaos and feel more purpose in my daily work.

In the Evidence-Based Management framework, we measure opportunities in terms of a concept we call Unrealized Value, which can be thought of as the benefit that would be realized if we could satisfy all of the currently unsatisfied outcomes of our customers.

La Guia Scrum 2020 se publicará en noviembre, y traerá novedades importantes. En esta sesión, podréis preguntar a Alex Ballarin, un Professional Scrum Trainer cosas como: ¿Cuáles son las novedades de la Guía Scrum 2020? ¿Por qué se han cambiado los aspectos de la Guía? ¿Qué mejoras pueden aportar a los equipos Scrum? ¿Cómo interpretarlas correctamente? ¿Cuál ha sido la evolución de la Guía Scrum desde su primera edición?

There is a new a new Scrum Guide out - version 2020. What has changed for Scrum teams practicing Kanban?

Story Points and velocity have been used for many years in the Scrum community and have been engrained so much in the way that things are done that most folks believe that they are part of Scrum.

In the The Evidence-Based Management Guide we talk about the Intermediate Strategic Goal and I likened that to the Product Goal in the 2020 Scrum Guide.

While the new Scrum Guide is less prescriptive and more inclusive, it also ties loose ends by including elements better, namely the previously free-floating Sprint Goal and the Definition of Done with the creation of Scrum commitments. This inclusion works remarkably well in the former’s case; regarding the latter, we need a shoehorn, though.

A brief overview of the word changes between the 2020 and 2017 version of the Scrum Guide.

Der Nexus Guide -- der Leitfaden zur Skalierung von Scrum -- wurde aktualisiert! Der Nexus Guide 2021 enthält weniger Vorschriften, Erklärung von spezifischer Terminologie und einen Ergänzender Theorieabschnitt.

There is a better way than staggered iterations for delivery that will keep you on the path to agility. Staggered iterations lead to more technical debt and lower quality software.

Many teams are struggling with delivering modern software because they are not building with Test First Principles. Test First gives us the assurance that we have built the correct thing, that what we built is what the customer asked for and that when we change things we don’t break anything inadvertently.

Many organisations wrestle with the seeming incompatibility between agile and release management, and they struggle with release planning and predictable delivery.

In my last post about Professional software teams creating working software David Corbin made a good point. How do you determining what “Free from fault or defect” means? Since that is different for each Product and may change over time you need to focus on Quality and reflecting that quality in a Definition of Done (DoD).

Most Scrum Teams that I encounter don’t do refinement of their Product Backlog and try to work on things that they don’t understand correctly.
