A Practical Guide to Agile Part 2: Scrum — Empirical Process Control and the 3-5-3
Why is Scrum shaped the way it is? Starting from empirical process control (transparency, inspection, adaptation) — what works when uncertainty is high — through what problem each piece of the 3-5-3 (3 roles, 5 events, 3 artifacts) solves, the meaning of Definition of Done, the Scrum Guide 2020 changes, and the signs of the daily turning into a status report and the sprint into a mini-waterfall. Part 2 of an Agile series that explains the why, not the ceremonies.
