Illustration to the Scrum Guide: the five Scrum values

When the values of commitment, courage, focus, openness and respect are embodied and lived by the Scrum Team, the Scrum pillars of transparency, inspection, and adaptation come to life and build trust for everyone. The Scrum Team members learn and explore those values as they work with the Scrum roles, events, and artifacts.

Successful use of Scrum depends on people becoming more proficient in living these five values. People personally commit to achieving the goals of the Scrum Team. The Scrum Team members have courage to do the right thing and work on tough problems. Everyone focuses on the work of the Sprint and the goals of the Scrum Team. The Scrum Team and its stakeholders agree to be open about all the work and the challenges with performing the work. Scrum Team members respect each other to be capable, independent people.

Illustration to the Scrum Guide: The 3 pillars of Scrum’s empirical process control

Scrum is founded on empirical process control theory, or empiricism. Empiricism asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is known. Scrum employs an iterative, incremental approach to optimize predictability and control risk. Three pillars uphold every implementation of empirical process control: transparency, inspection, and adaptation.

Inputs to Sprint Planning:

the Product Backlog: an ordered list of the deliverables as described in the Product Backlog chapter;

the latest product Increment: the work delivered as described in the Increment chapter; Ideally it has been inspected on the Review meeting and the feedback is collected; less ideally it contains leftover work yet to be done;

the projected capacity of the Development Team during the Sprint: in real terms, the number of available workdays of team members with given skills in the coming Sprint; The measurement unit is not necessarily ‘workday’;

and past performance of the Development Team: traditionally measured as velocity (story points delivered per sprint).
