OKRs are a powerful tool for setting and measuring goals, but like all power tools, they can become dangerous in unskilled hands. When used in informed ways, they can improve focus and lift outcomes, but when mishandled, they can increase waste and inflict real damage upon the organizations that ado...

The Scrum Guide Reordered 2020 is based on about 95 percent of the text of the Scrum Guide 2020, extending its original structure by adding additional categories, for example, on self-management, commitments, or accountability.

In this podcast Scrum Facilitators from the Netherlands Sjoerd Kranendonk and Jasper Alblas discuss the new Scrum Guide (version 2020) with Scrum Coaches Steve Trapps and Andy Hiles from the UK.

The new Scrum Guide describes the whole Scrum Team as self-managing. But how do you lead these teams? Do they need leaders? And if so, where should we leaders focus on? Peter Koning - author of Agile Leadership Toolkit - gives three practical tips

In the 2020 Scrum Guide, the Definition of Done is created by the Scrum Team. In previous versions of the Scrum Guide, this responsibility was explicitly owned by the Development Team. I will explain the intention of the change and what it means for Scrum Teams.

With the launch of the new Scrum Guide, we also created a new illustration of the Scrum framework.

In the 2020 Version of the Scrum Guide, the commitments were introduced for each artifact.

They were always part of a Professional Scrum approach, now there is a clear conne...

En noviembre de 2020, los co-creadores de Scrum, Ken Schwaber y Jeff Sutherland, han publicado una actualización de la Guía de Scrum...

Un cambio muy esperado ha sido finalmente la eliminación de las tres preguntas sugeridas en el Daily Scrum.

Today, the 18th of November 2020 Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland released an update to the Scrum Guide. If you are interested in an overview of what has changed, read about the seven main changes described with some context.

At Scrum.org we have used this update of the Scrum Guide as an opportunity to have some interesting discussions and our CEO Dave West has documented some of them for your review and attention. 

With the 2020 update to the Scrum Guide, three commitments were added to the artifacts. The idea of a commitment is to provide additional quality to the artifact to improve transparency. In the case of Product Backlog, the commitment is to the Product Goal. 

With the 2020 release of the Scrum Guide, Commitments were added for each artifact. The commitments provide a nice, structural way to describe some of the key characteristics of each artifact. The intent of this change was to provide clarity and make the Scrum Guide simpler to read and use.

This blog post talks about the addition of Commitments to each Artifact in the updated Scrum Guide.

One interesting change to the Scrum Guide for the 2020 release was the change of the term Self-Organizing to Self-Managing. This blog discusses the change.

With the 2020 release of the Scrum Guide, the term role was replaced with accountabilities. The purpose of this change was to place special emphasis that this is not a job description, but the bare minimum set of accountabilities necessary to execute Scrum. The blog describes how these accountabilit...

Scrum is described as a framework, not a methodology. The Scrum Guide provides just enough prescription to allow Scrum to work and encourages its ‘users’ to be smart, adding practices and other things specific to them on top of the framework as needed to form their process.

The more Scrum Teams are empowered to make and own decisions about their work, the more benefits they will realize.

Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland are joined by Dave West, JJ Sutherland, Don McGreal and Avi Schneier as they discuss the release of the updated Scrum Guide and celebrate 25 years of Scrum.

If you prefer watching a video to understand the updates in Scrum Guide 2020, which are also my favourite updates, enjoy watching this video I've made.

In the 2020 update of the Scrum Guide, the Sprint Planning section has had a very welcome update. Every part of Scrum has a purpose, a reason to why it's included in the framework, and this update made the purpose - raison d'etre - of the Sprint Planning clearer. Let's see how!
