Scrum and eXtreme Programming (XP)
Ashley Hunt · 2018
This chapter examines the PMI-ACP exam content outline about the mindset of Agile, including understanding of different best practices and their application. Transparency, or even transparent communication, creates a mutual understanding of standards, a common language so that the process can be shared and understood, and most important, a transparent understanding of the definition of done. There are very specific roles on the Scrum team, and each of those roles has its own focus, responsibilities, and abilities. Scrum teams are self-organizing and cross functional. A Scrum Master is responsible for making sure Scrum is understood, making sure the Scrum team adheres to the Scrum framework's practices and rules, and keeping the ball rolling in general. The goal of the Scrum Master is to maximize value in all interactions with the product owner, the development team, and the entire organization.
