# Scrum Values

## About

These values are key to make the scrum pillars come to life, and build the necessary trust between the scrum team and the other stakeholders.

* <mark style="background-color:yellow;">Commitment</mark> (***1 por todos e todos por 1***)
  * <mark style="background-color:yellow;">People personally commit</mark>, not just get involved to achieving the goals of the scrum team.
  * Business and technical people must <mark style="background-color:yellow;">work together</mark>.
  * And the <mark style="background-color:yellow;">entire scrum team is held accountable for the results</mark>.
  * If <mark style="background-color:yellow;">one fail, all fail</mark>.
* <mark style="background-color:yellow;">Courage</mark>
  * The scrum <mark style="background-color:yellow;">team members must have courage to do the right thing</mark>, and work on tough problems.
  * You need to <mark style="background-color:yellow;">get out of your comfort zone</mark>.
  * Its about having a growth mindset.
* <mark style="background-color:yellow;">Focus</mark>
  * <mark style="background-color:yellow;">Everyone focuses on the work of the Sprint and the goals of the Scrum team</mark>.
  * It is <mark style="background-color:yellow;">working on what is more important first</mark>, that is why the <mark style="background-color:yellow;">product backlog is emergent and ordered</mark>, where usually we have only the top product backlog items with enough details for the developers to understand it and be able to develop it during the Sprint.
* <mark style="background-color:yellow;">Openness</mark>
  * Strongly relates to the Transparency pillar.
  * The scrum team and stakeholders agree to <mark style="background-color:yellow;">be open about all the work and challenges</mark> with performing the work.
  * Its <mark style="background-color:yellow;">about good teamwork, asking and offering help when needed</mark>, and sometimes admit that the wrong decision was taken and that the team must change the way of working.
* <mark style="background-color:yellow;">Respect</mark>
  * Scrum <mark style="background-color:yellow;">team members respect each other to be capable and independent people</mark>.
  * It is about knowing that people are doing their best, giving them autonomy, assuming that they are good enough and have good intentions, recognizing that they have different backgrounds, personalities and abilities.

***Respect*** and ***Commitment*** generally are the ones that fail to be followed.
