It is designed to help teams navigate tasks that are novel or constantly changing, making it ideal for software development environments. Consider exploring Scrum further to boost your team’s productivity and adaptability.

What is Scrum ?

Interpreting Scrum

Many people know that Scrum is related to organising around a common purpose, a sort of social technology for shared goals.

But have you ever gone deeper into the mechanics of “What is Scrum?”

Well, let me break it down for you. 🧐

Scrum is a social technology, a guiding principle that enables groups to organise around a shared purpose. 🎯  I like to describe it quite simply as a social technology that facilitates groups of people to rally around a common goal. 💡

Navigating the Complex with Scrum

Scrum finds its groove amidst complexity. But you might be wondering, what does ‘complex’ really mean? In Scrum terms, it’s situations where you know less at the start than you discover while you’re in the thick of things. 🕵️

Now, when I say ‘complex’, I’m referring to situations where our initial knowledge is far less than what we gain while navigating the tasks.

Typically, complexity arises when our tasks are novel, unrepeatable, or present us with constant variations. The wide disparity between our initial assumptions about a task and its actual outcome. That’s what I mean by ‘complex’. 😮

And that’s where Scrum shines!

It is intentionally and cleverly crafted to operate within this realm of complexity and even at its edges. 🚀

So, there you have it - Scrum in a nutshell! It’s a tool for navigating the labyrinth of complex tasks, enabling us to organise and find a way forward. 💡

What is Scrum? Scrum is a social technology that allows groups of people to organise around a common purpose.

It’s specifically designed to work in complex space, and that may be a bit of a weird term. So complex is when you know less at the beginning than you understand while doing it, right?

So usually the things that you do are unrepeatable. You’re doing different things all the time, stuff you’ve never done before. Whenever there’s a huge variation in how long you think it’s going to take and how long it actually takes, that’s complex.

And Scrum is specifically designed to operate in that space, or at least the edges of that space.
