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.

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.

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 accountabilities are split into 3 groups.

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, 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.

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. 

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

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.

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

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!

Heute, am 18. November 2020, pünktlich zum 25. Geburtstag von Scrum, haben Ken Schwaber und Jeff Sutherland den Scrum Guide aktualisiert.  Um eines gleich vorwegzunehmen: Scrum bleibt Scrum. Ein einfaches Rahmenwerk, welches es Teams ermöglicht, mit der Arbeit an komplexen Problemen zu beginnen. Und der Scrum Guide 2020 ändert daran nichts.  Einige Dinge sind jedoch neu und denen widmen wir uns jetzt.

Doing Scrum is not enough! The precious result will not be achieved just by understanding and following the rules and principles of the Scrum Framework. Every day organisations are starting and failing with business agility, praise and blame Scrum.

Do you know anyone in a management role who is part of an "Agile Transformation" (I prefer "Agile Enablement"). How are they doing? Are they experiencing any stress or anxiety?

A Sprint Planning checklist? How dare you: Agile is a mindset, not a methodology. It is a journey, not a destination. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and what else could you possibly cover with a checklist, the mother of all standardized processes?

Scrum se basa en un proceso empírico. El empirismo se basa en tomar decisiones basados en la información concreta obtenida de la observación que muestra el progreso del desarrollo de producto, los cambios en el mercado y los comentarios de los cliente.

Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) is a well-known practice for collaboration and teams use it to bridge the gap between product management and the software development team. It is also very popular among quality engineers to develop test automation frameworks.

From Scrum Master to Development Team members, this set of questions addresses the foundations of a Scrum Team capability to build valuable products: technical excellence and what it takes to achieve this proficiency level.

In Leslie Morse's first Scrum.org blog post she explores the intersection of professional coaching and agile coaching, and the opportunity we have as agilists to overcome the limitations of an industrialized mindset and create space for ushering in the future of work.

Un Equipo de Desarrollo en Scrum no tiene sub equipos, roles o títulos. En el equipo pueden y es bueno que existan especialistas como expertos en pruebas, desarrollo, arquitectura, etc. Pero estos especialistas aportan para que el equipo pueda lograr el objetivo del Sprint y del producto como equipo complementando sus competencias.

Desde la Revolución Industrial, la creciente competencia ha impulsado a las empresas hacia estrategias que preservan y aumentan su participación de mercado.

Scrum and agility create frameworks for diversity. A healthy mix of men and women will benefit from this. In this post I want to explain why.

Many members of Management perceive Scrum as a way to get more velocity, widgets, thingamajigs, outputs, etc. etc. with less money, less people and less time.

Last week, someone on Reddit asked whether there would be any other profession that requires attending a 2-day training class and would then pay as well as a Scrum Master job.

As the Product Owner, you are well aware that part of the success of your product depends on your decision. Every day, you must be facing...
