The Five Core Values of a Scrum Team
There are five Scrum values that all project team members, including the project manager (Scrum Master), strive to adhere to on a Scrum project.
Core Value 1 – Commitment
Each team member commits to the team, to each other, and to achieving the goal of each sprint.
Core Value 2 – Focus
The team focuses on the task at hand (avoiding the dangers of multi-tasking) and on the goals of the sprint.
Core Value 3 – Openness
The team is open and transparent – they share information freely and ask for help when they need it.
Core Value 4 – Respect
The team respects each other as capable, independent people.
Core Value 5 – Courage
The team has the courage to do the right thing, work through tough problems, ask for help if needed or say when they don’t know.
The Core Values of a Scrum Team
These core values of Scrum help hold a team together and form a contract (like a Team Charter) that creates a solid foundation as you work together towards your goals.
