Session Title

The Value in the Scrum Values

Abstract

Gunther Verheyen will contribute to the online 2021 edition of the Scrum Summit event with a session about “The Value in the Scrum Values”. He will shed a different light on the popular framework, the perspective of the Scrum Values.

Gunther observes how the ‘process’ aspect of Scrum becomes more and more accepted and embraced. The empirical process as implemented by Scrum is increasingly replacing the old, traditional predictive management approaches. The people aspects of Scrum however are much less acknowledged, let alone embraced. Organizations overlook that Scrum, actually, is more about behavior than it is about process. The benefits realized through Scrum largely depend not on the rules, but on the interactions and collaboration of the people employing Scrum. And values drive behavior. As behavior also expresses values, Scrum is also expressed through its five values.
