Focus Areas
Scrum Framework — Rules and roles of Scrum per the Scrum Guide.
Scrum Theory and Principles — Good understanding of Scrum theory, how it is founded on empirical theory, and the principles and values of Scrum.
Analysis – Modern practices for a Development Team to best interpret user needs so that they are most transparent with the least waste possible.
Cross-functional, self-organizing Teams — Scrum Teams are different from traditional development groups. The paradigm and nature of a cross-functional and self-organizing team promote flexibility, creativity, and productivity. They choose how to best do their work and have all competencies needed to accomplish it without depending on others outside of the team.
Cross-functional, self-organized Development — Self-organization within the Development team fosters collaboration and increases commitment, a feeling of ownership, and creativity. The Development team makes all decisions on how to do the work that it has forecast it could complete.
Design & Emergent Architecture — Technical approaches to developing software architecture and design that a Development Team must do in order to deliver business value in the form of working software every Sprint.
Documentation/Persistence – Documentation makes information persistent. Documentation is incrementally maintained and is a development activity.
Programming – As part of incremental development, Scrum puts quality before scope. Writing high-quality code is an art in itself. It requires skills, dedication, mastery, agreed practices, and agreed on standards.
Standards and Quality — Scrum Development Teams work against company, development, and organizational standards. Such standards provide guidance. The Scrum Development Teams decide on the actual implementation, thereby respecting the standards. As part of incremental development, Scrum puts quality before scope. This requires transparent agreements and standards.
Test First Development — Development approach of thinking through requirements before writing functional code in order to consider work in terms of how it will be tested, creating traceability and eliminating waste.
Application Lifecycle Management — What a Scrum Development Team must know about ALM (‘Application Lifecycle Management’).
