Introduction to Scrum – Part 3
The Scrum Framework
Inspection and adaptation are the last two theories. At the end of a sprint when the Scrum team reviews what went well or badly, this process is called the inspection. If developers and other roles offer genuine feedback, the team can determine where problems lie. Once the team identifies problem areas, they must plan to resolve these issues. This process is called adaptation. After developing a plan to improve, the Scrum team applies the plan in future sprints. By repeating this cycle of inspection and adaptation over time, the Scrum team becomes more efficient. For developers, this requires reacting positively to change. Development methods may change sprint to sprint as the team decides to try new methods. The developer role must be able to accommodate these changes and continue with their responsibilities.
Scrum Values
Like theories, Scrum maintains certain values that result in a better software development environment. The most important value is flexibility. Scrum teams do not use methods just because other teams use them. They choose methods that work best for each individual team. If something works, and products are completed, those methods are considered successful.
For developers, this flexibility means that they can work according to their strong suits. Developers naturally gravitate toward what they do best. The flexibility of Scrum allows developers to distribute tasks according to who can most effectively complete them.
Creativity means that the Scrum team is not bound to a traditional solution. If developers can think of a better solution or method, they are able to try it. With adaptation, they can then proceed to hone this method into what works best for their specific team.
