“A framework within which people can address complex adaptive problems, while productively and creatively delivering products of the highest possible value.”
一个能够使人们处理复杂问题、并同时保证高效地、有创意地交付最高价值产品的框架。
三大支柱（Three Pillars）
Scrum 框架用迭代的方式对目标进行增量式的管理。Scrum 也是由经验主义（Empiricism） 发展来的，现在做的决定不是根据最开始的预测得来的，而是基于之前的经验总结出来的。
经验主义的三个支柱：
- 透明性（Transparency） - 将工作中最重要的方面展示给对结果负责的人
- 检查与分析（Inspection） - 及时对每一个冲刺结果进行检查并找出不利的变量
- 适应与调整（Adaptation） - 调整项目、产品、流程来最小化在未来可能出现的偏差和问题
三个支柱是有先后顺序的，任何一个环节出了偏差都会影响后面的环节。有了透明性才能有检查与分析；有了检查与分析以后才能有适应与调整
五个价值（Five Values）
- Commitment - means personally committing to achieving the goals of the Scrum Team.
- Courage - means being willing to do the right thing and work through tough problems.
- Focus - means concentrating on the necessary work within the Sprint, and the overall goals of the Scrum Team.
- Openness - refers to the team’s willingness to share their challenges that come with performing the work.
- Respect - is when the team shows consideration for the opinions, skills, and independence of their teammates.
