7. What is Scrum
O Scrum (n): A framework within which people can address
complex adaptive problems, while productively and
creatively delivering products of the highest possible
value.
O Scrum is a process framework that has been used to
manage complex product development since the early
1990s.
O Scrum is not a process or a technique for building
products; rather, it is a framework within which you can
employ various processes and techniques. Scrum makes
clear the relative efficacy of your product management
and development practices so that you can improve.

8. Scrum Theory
Scrum is founded on empirical process control theory,
or empiricism. Empiricism asserts that knowledge
comes from experience and making decisions based
on what is known. Scrum employs an iterative,
incremental approach to optimize predictability and
control risk.
Three pillars uphold every implementation of
empirical process control:
O Transparency
O Inspection
O Adaptation

15. Sprint Review
After the Sprint ends, there is the Sprint Review,
where people review the Sprint. Present at this
meeting are the Product Owner, Team members, and
ScrumMaster, plus customers, users, stakeholders,
experts, executives, and anyone else who is
interested.
The Review is often mislabeled the “demo” but that
does not capture the real intent of this meeting. A key
idea in Scrum is inspect and adapt.
Recommended: two hours for two weeks sprint.
