Three Pillars of Scrum
Three Pillars of Scrum
The Three Pillars of Scrum are the core principles that uphold every Scrum framework. They ensure that teams work transparently, inspect their progress frequently, and adapt effectively.
There are as follows:
- Transparency
- Inspection
- Adaptation
🪞 Transparency
-
-
All aspects of the process must be visible to those responsible for the outcome.
-
Common understanding of work, goals, and progress is essential.
-
Example: Everyone understands the Definition of Done and sees the same Product Backlog.
-
🔍 Inspection
-
-
Scrum artifacts and progress toward the goal are regularly inspected.
-
Helps detect undesirable variances early.
-
Example: Reviewing progress during Daily Scrum or Sprint Review.
-
🔄 Adaptation
-
-
If inspection reveals issues, the process or material must be adjusted quickly.
-
The team adapts to minimize further deviation.
-
Example: Adjusting the Sprint Backlog after discovering a new dependency.
