Chicken: Yeah… So what you are saying is Scrum is a Silver Bullet.Panel Two Scrum Master: [throwing a laser beam from the magic marker] It’s NOT a Silver Bullet!Panel Three Pig: [ thought bubble ] That’s what I’d call a magic marker Chicken: ( burned chicken head ) So what you’re saying is Scrum is NOT a silver bullet.Scrum FundamentalsThe Back Story and ContextI get the opportunity to teach new Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Developers, and other people interested in learning about Scrum (through the lenses of the Scrum Master or Product Owner) in my Certified Scrum Master and Certified Scrum Product Owner training workshops. These are authorized by the Scrum Alliance and I’ve been teaching these since 2006 internationally, in-person, publicly, privately, and remote / online (since ya know this is how the real world is today).Both of these certified scrum training events are based on something called the “Scrum Foundations” by the Scrum Alliance. They include “2022 Learning Objectives” which are based on the most current Scrum Guide (as of this writing, it’s the 2020 version by the creators of Scrum, Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland).Why are Scrum Fundamentals Important to me?Scrum is not a Silver BulletScrum is not a Silver BulletScrum is not a Silver BulletReally. Scrum is not the end-all-be-all. The Scrum Guide is not some document that was handed down on stone tablets. Scrum is a lightweight framework that helps people, teams and organizations generate value through adaptive solutions for complex problems (I did not make this up — see the Definition of Scrum from my Interactive Scrum Guide.The “Scrum Basics” are the foundation of what you and the Scrum Team need to become successful Implementing Scrum in the real world (where both you and I work on a daily basis).If you are going to really use Scrum… know what it really is.Really.The Scrum Fundamentals are also important for people to re-visit as a “Scrum Refresher” after you’ve been certified, gotten started, began practicing, moved on to coaching, or are effectively leading an Agile or Scrum “Transformation” in your organization.No matter where you are on your journey of Implementing Scrum, it’s important to get back to the basics so that you can base your real world work on what “The Basics” remind us.How can I get help from you Mike?As of today, I’ll be spending time with you here creating and sharing information about the Scrum Fundamentals.
