Scrum Values
Focus
Because we focus on only a few things at a time, we work well
together and produce excellent work. We deliver valuable items
sooner.
Courage
Because we work as a team, we feel supported and have more
resources at our disposal. This gives us the courage to undertake
greater challenges.
Openness
As we work together, we express how we're doing, what's in our
way, and our concerns so they can be addressed.
Commitment
Because we have great control over our own destiny, we are more
committed to success.
Respect
As we work together, sharing successes and failures, we come to
respect each other and to help each other become worthy of respect.
Primary Goal of Scrum
