Understanding the Core Principles of Scrum
The Scrum framework is built upon six foundational principles that guide its application across various projects and organizations. These principles—empirical process control, self-organization, collaboration, value-based prioritization, time-boxing, and iterative development—are essential for maintaining the integrity of Scrum practices. Adhering to these non-negotiable guidelines fosters an environment of transparency, adaptability, and continuous improvement. By keeping these principles intact, teams can effectively navigate complex challenges and enhance their project outcomes, ultimately instilling confidence in their ability to achieve objectives as outlined in the Scrum Body of Knowledge (SBOK® Guide).
