You don't learn by thinking. You learn by doing and observing. Knowledge is information; learning is action.
Scrum's success lies in your ability to implement it by opening yourself up to five values: commitment, focus, openness, respect, and courage. These values direct the work you do, the actions you take, and the behavior you display.
In this article, I want to invite you to review the context for which Scrum is most suitable.
The Product Backlog is an emergent, ordered list of what is needed to improve the product. It is the single source of work undertaken by the Scrum Team
The Sprint Backlog is composed of the Sprint Goal (why), the set of Product Backlog items selected for the Sprint (what), as well as an actionable plan for delivering the Increment (how)
An Increment is a concrete stepping stone toward the Product Goal.
The Sprint is a container for all other events… Sprints are the heartbeat of Scrum, where ideas are turned into value.
The Sprint Planning initiates the Sprint by laying out the work to be performed for the Sprint
The purpose of the Daily Scrum is to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and adapt the Sprint Backlog as necessary, adjusting the upcoming planned work
The purpose of the Sprint Review is to inspect the outcome of the Sprint and determine future adaptations
The purpose of the Sprint Retrospective is to plan ways to increase quality and effectiveness
The fundamental unit of Scrum is a small team of people, a Scrum Team. The Scrum Team consists of a Scrum Master, a Product Owner, and the Developers
The developers are the people on the Scrum Team who are committed to creating any aspect of a usable Increment in each Sprint
The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team
The Scrum Master is accountable for establishing Scrum as defined in the Scrum Guide. They do this by helping everyone understand Scrum theory and practice, both within the Scrum Team and the organization
