Un producto tiene un sólo Product Backlog y es gestionado solamente por un único Product Owner. El Product Owner es responsable de la visión, aclaración, ordenamiento del Product Backlog y valor final que proporciona el producto o servicio. Este Product Owner puede recibir ayuda de los Desarrolladore y tener a otras personas que le ayuden a una mayor descomposición del Product Backlog o en la identificación de las dependencias. Al escalar Scrum, pueden existir muchos equipos Scrum, pero aun así existe un único Product Owner para el producto.

Professionalism is a key part of our identity at Scrum.org. We spend a lot of time thinking about how to bring professionalism alive for our learners, our trainers and the broader community.

Recently I was asked to answer some questions for a journalist on how to structure IT organizations. The questions were interesting and I wanted to share my responses here.

In this blog post we will give examples of Increments and why it is important to have Done Increments

Teams that change the framework are not using Scrum and are missing out on some of its benefits.  The Scrum framework consists of 5 events, 3 accountabilities, 3 artifacts and five values.  Today, we will talk about the order of the events in Scrum. 

TL; DR: 24+2 Daily Scrum Anti-Patterns In my experience, the Daily Scrum is the Scrum event with the highest anti-pattern density among all events.

Bei der Skalierung von Scrum balancieren wir Kosten und Aufwand mit Nutzen und Vorteilen. Kosten und Aufwand werden durch zusätzliche Teams verursacht. Nutzen und Vorteile entstehen dadurch, mehr potentiellen Wert in gleicher Zeit zu liefern.

The new Scrum Guide 2020 mentions Scrum is founded on empiricism and lean thinking. In this post, Anand Pandey dives into how to identify waste.

What's up awesome people? I hope you are well and keeping safe. I have been asked many times recently about the career paths for Scrum Master. I personally think Scrum Master should not be a job title. But what does that mean to Scrum Master career path if Scrum Master is not a job title ... I think it creates lots of doors of possibilities. In today's podcast episode I share four possibilities for Scrum Master career paths. Hopefully it also inspire those of you in the Human Resources or People Operations department to redesign not only career paths for Scrum Master but also career path at your company in general. Enjoy the podcast and have a great week ahead folks.

A detailed description of how the Scrum Master role embodies 6 stances, and why I don’t consider “servant leader” and “manager” valid stances anymore

Hoy he venido profundo y filosófico. Siempre en mis formaciones comento la diferencia entre ordenar y priorizar.

Professional Teaching is a complex skill that requires practitioners to probe, sense and respond to a changing learning environment. As Scrum Masters, we are naturally at home within complexity, and therefore the ability to apply empiricism to learning should be simple.

In Scrum soll ein verwendbares Increment und in Design Thinking sollen nur Prototypen erstellt werden. Wie kann das trotzdem zusammen passen? 

Dieser Blog durchleuchtet sehr knapp wie die drei Ansätze zusammen passen

Im ersten Artikel dieser Miniserie wurde festgestellt, dass man kein Zertifikat braucht, um gut in dem zu werden, was man tut, zum Beispiel als Scrum Master zu arbeiten. Sich zertifizieren zu lassen, kann jedoch ein guter Ratschlag sein, wie der Scrum Master Salary Report 2022 belegt: Es besteht eine statistische Korrelation zwischen dem Gehalt und den Zertifikaten, die Sie besitzen. Wenn Sie von dieser Signalwirkung profitieren wollen, die Scrum-Zertifikate zu haben scheinen, stellt sich die Frage, wie Sie eine der drei Scrum Master Zertifizierungen bestehen können.

Dies Frage kommt hoch, wenn wir die Verantwortlichkeiten des Scrum Teams und der Developer:innen diskutieren.

The Scrum Guide defines Sprint Goal as the single objective for the Sprint, is a commitment by the Developers, and is part of the Sprint Backlog.

Scrum is simple, but that simplicity means that each of its elements is essential.  The values, accountabilities, artifacts and events are all part of the framework for a reason.  Teams that mess with the framework are messing with Scrum.  Teams that make changes to the elements limit Scrum's effectiveness and aren't really using Scrum.  This article discusses some of the things in the Scrum framework teams shouldn't mess with but often do. 

The first article of this mini-series established that you do not need a certificate to become good at what you do, for example, working as a Scrum Master.

Ich bringe Teams bei, wie sie UX-Praktiken und Scrum verbinden können. Die 4 Fragen, welche in jedem Training auftauchen, lauten:

Warum Sie keinen Nutzen aus Scrum ziehen können, wenn Sie nicht in jedem Sprint Done Increments erstellen – und wie Sie dieses Problem lösen!

Mejorar la eficiencia del tiempo de entrega para producir más producto en menos tiempo puede ser una buena alternativa en algunos escenarios durante el desarrollo de un producto, pero no necesariamente lo es en otros.

Woran würden Sie erkennen, dass Ihr Scrum Master kompetent ist? Was sind Indikatoren für den Erfolg eines Scrum Masters? Ist die regelmäßige Verwendung der Confluence-Retrospektiven-Vorlage das gewünschte Signal? Oder ist die Suche nach den Faktoren, die zum Erfolg beitragen, vergeblich, da die Gründe für den Erfolg eines Scrum Teams so vielfältig sind? Gegebenenfalls gibt es vielleicht keinen direkten Zusammenhang zwischen einem Scrum Master, der ohnehin keine Autorität hat, und der Gesamtleistung des Scrum-Teams.

Welcome to Scrum Sutra — a series where I shall share a 2-min overview of each element of Scrum and how it connects with the other elements in the bead to form Scrum Sutra. Today, I shall talk about Sprint Backlog.

Let’s talk about Product Owners and Scrum Masters. Can they both be the same person? A very common question I hear is can a Scrum Master be a Product Owner and well the answer is a little bit nuanced so watch and find out!

Der Scrum Guide wurde im November 2020 aktualisiert. Mit unserem Vergleich des Scrum Guides 2017 und Scrum Guides 2020 erfahren Sie, wie sich Scrum verändert hat.

TL; DR: Scrum Master Success — My Top-Nine Indicators How would you know that your Scrum Master is competent? What are indicators for Scrum Master success?

We all have strengths and weaknesses with the preferred stances of a Scrum Master. Like many of the teams we work with, being ‘key-shaped’ comes to mind – cross-skilled and competent at many things but having a deeper knowledge of certain stances more so than others.

Nicht nur Google, Amazon und Spotify verwenden sie, sondern auch viele andere erfolgreiche Produktorganisationen. Die Rede ist von Objectives and Key Results (OKRs).

As part of a coaching certification programme that I am on we were discussing the difference between Ethics, Values and Morals.

What are the problems or negative consequences with making decisions by committees?

Some people love certifications, others, not so much! I am firmly in the promoter camp when it comes to certification Let’s explore the arguments for and against. I freely admit to my bias in this evaluation.

Eine meiner Lieblingsübungen aus meinen Professional Scrum Master-Kursen ist die Frage, wie als Mitglied des mittleren Managements am besten Scrum Master Sabotage betreibt. Die Regeln der Übung sind einfach: Sie dürfen keine Form von illegalen Aktivitäten anwenden. Es kommt also nicht infrage, die Aufgabe an einen Haufen Gesetzloser zu übertragen. Stattdessen dürfen Sie nur Praktiken anwenden, die in Ihrem Unternehmen kulturell akzeptabel sind.

With the rapid increase in the adoption of Scrum and other Agile frameworks over the past several years, I’m not surprised that a few misconceptions and myths about Scrum have surfaced.  While many more organizations embrace Scrum, many individual practitioners have not undertaken formal training.  It’s the perfect environment for misinformation and confusion.

Welcome to Scrum Sutra — a series where I shall share a 2-min overview of each element of Scrum and how it connects with the other elements in the bead to form Scrum Sutra. This bead is about Product Backlog.

In this highly engaging talk at the Agile Camp Berlin 2021, Jimmy Janlén addresses the core element of “Agile,” it’s key to speed, innovation, and success: team autonomy. Learn more about its benefits, challenges, fears, and pains and what organizations can do to unleash it.

Es war Weihnachten 2011. Wie in jedem Jahr verbrachten die Menschen die Feiertage im Kreis ihrer Familie und ihrer Liebsten und hielten diese Momente auf Fotos fest. Damit an diesen Momenten auch ihre Freunde teilhaben konnten, stellten sie die Fotos auf Facebook online.

A learning model is a must to build a learning organization/team. Identifying and creating learning loops and cycles within the learning model is extremely important. In this article, I would like to share a learning model that I applied to the teams, helping them learn and develop.

El Manifiesto Ágil aún es relevante para proyectos de precio fijo No me canso de recordar un mis capacitaciones y consultorias que el Manifiesto Ágil aun sigue siendo relevante y más vigente que nunca.

“Carryover” is not a thing in Scrum, and I think we need to stop using that terminology. Because by giving it a special name, it gets normalized. Plus the term itself is misleading. In this post, I will talk about “carryover” really means and how to handle it.

I made it. Over the last years, I have spent some amount of time obtaining the highest of Agile Pokemon badges: the Professional Scrum Trainer. I have to admit this is one of the best moments in my career so far.

Summer Lawrence shares perspectives on professional coaching.

The Product Owner is responsible for the ROI or return on investment. They represent the customer and the Product on which the scrum team is working.

A well-refined Product Backlog is essential for high-performing Scrum Teams.  Without it, teams will likely struggle to deliver a Done increment each Sprint.  But like all things in Scrum, we must have a balance.  So, how far out should the Product Backlog go?  

The role of leader is undergoing a seismic shift in our modern world. Career experiences have caused many of us to reconsider what leadership means. Leaders as gardeners is something worth considering.

Scrum Values were added to Scrum Guide in 2016. Values are what makes Scrum fully uncover it's potential. These values include Courage, Focus, Commitment, Respect, and Openness.

One of my favorite exercises from my Professional Scrum Product Owner classes is how to best sabotage a Product Owner as a member of the middle management. The exercise rules are simple: You’re not allowed to use any form of illegal activity. So, outsourcing the task to a bunch of outlaws is out of the question. Instead, you are only allowed to use practices that are culturally acceptable within your organization.
