The Agile Fundamentals for Scrum Master? – The Agile Fundamentals – Part 3

Develop a Valuable Product and keep delivering

Keeping the customer involved and engaged ensures that the product being delivered is valued by the customer and will be used once deployed. What would make a product valuable, is that it is viable, with minimal defects, and meets the customer expectations. This is the overriding approach of the Manifesto, as stated in the First Principle. Scrum divides work into sprints, small packets of work that are delivered on a regular basis (generally every 2-4 weeks). By practising repeated and continuous delivery, the customer is engaged and involved in inspecting each new delivery. The confidence level in the product is also high, as it is delivered feature by feature and takes shape during the project, not hidden behind a locked door which is only opened when the product is finished.

Things Change

No matter how lean your product is, or how short the timeline to deliver, there will be changes along the route. These can be for a number of reasons, for instance, an external occurrence in the market which is a game-changer. Also, because of the momentum of the project, there may be imperfect understanding of some of the concepts at project start. As the project progresses, the project knowledge increases, and design glitches or omissions may become apparent, especially because many features were discarded to get to an MVP. An Agile project expects change and will accommodate them according to the framework used; for instance, in Scrum a change can only be applied between sprints.  The result of accommodating change is that the finished product will be aligned to customer needs and expectations at the time of delivery, and not those at the start of the project.
