The Simple Guide To Scrum - 1 Pager

March 23, 2021

TheScrumMaster.co.uk Simple Guide To Scrum - 1 PagerTheScrumMaster.co.uk has created The Simple Guide To Scrum – 1 Pager. A condensed and visual representation of Scrum on 1 page.

When I was learning Scrum I always wanted a Scrum 1 Pager or cheat sheet to help, but nothing I found was very useful. The existing resources were always inaccurate and/or omitted vital information.

TheScrumMaster.co.uk's Simple Guide To Scrum – 1 Pager is different. It is fully in line with the Scrum Guide (2020) and contains a condensed view. it is great for quick reference and revision.

Free to download and no registration is required. Download The Simple Guide To Scrum – 1 Pager now.

"- Committed to creating any a usable Increment each Sprint." Does that read strange to anyone?

Good spot Dana. I have corrected and uploaded a new version.

Brilliant! How come the bullets, next to the Product Backlog, don’t mention the Product Goal?

I thought I would ask given the other 2 Scrum Artifacts are mentioned in there respective areas.

This is awesome @simonkneafsey:disqus ! Very nice graphics and a great overview IMO. Not too detailed, not too simplified, just right.
A few comments:

Next to Scrum team it says. "creating a valuable, useful increment". I would use the term useable instead of useful, which you are also using next to "Increment". Ideally an increment is useful but A) It might require several sprints to build something useful and B) We really cannot be confident that what we built is useful until it is put in the hands of the users.

Next to scrum team. it reads "Should 10", missing a "be"? Also I would maybe add that improved communication is a key reason for keeping teams small, just stating "Keep team smalls to increase productivity" is not self-evident.

For all events I would add "max" e.g. "sprint planning is max 8 hours".

What are the usage rights of this poster? Could it be used in training if the creators are clearly stated?

New version uploaded with most of your comments applied. I have stuck with "useful" Increment for the Scrum Team. This is what the Scrum Guide says and I want the 1 Pager to stay true to that.

please pass the document through another edit. there are some mistakes on it. for example: under daily scrum "Adapt the plan their next 24 hours" should simply be "Plan their next 24 hours"

All feedback is gratefully received and a new version will be issued in due course.
