A framework could be a collection of guidelines, rules and elements that provide a structure and boundary but not the prescription to achieve something. For Example: The game of Chess (a framework) offers: The chess board (8x8 squares) The chess pieces (Material) The rules about how each piece is placed, how each piece moves across the board A chess player gets to decide their strategy, which piece they move and where, how they secure their king and how they use their queen. The game of the Chess doesn't prescribe any of this.

Facilitation is an intervention through which a group improves the way it communicates, examines and addresses problems, and makes decisions. A neutral and unbiased facilitator would create the environment, design the structure and may use various facilitation techniques to help a group improve it's effectiveness.

Scrum Values offer overarching guiding-rails to how team members behave, act, work, and collaborate as a team. Scrum offers five Scrum Values: Focus, Openness, Respect, Commitment and Courage. When a Scrum Team and the people they work with embody these Scrum Values, they a build high trust environment.

The increment is the sum of all the Product Backlog items completed during a Sprint and the increments from previous Sprint. Increment creates transparency of the value created to date. Example: If a Scrum team is writing a book, a chapter of the book could be an increment.

A self-managing team is empowered to internally decide who does what, when, and how. It is responsible and accountable for all or most aspects / decisions of planning and producing a product or delivering a service.

The Definition of Done (DoD) is a set of criteria for quality and completeness of the increment, against which the increment is evaluated. Establishing the DoD before the work begins, creates transparency and shared understanding of what work was completed as part of the Increment

A coaching intervention that is focused on helping teams, leaders and organizations to improve their ability to gracefully change / adapt to changing needs, may be identified as Agile Coaching.

Scrum is a light weight framework that helps people generate value through adaptive solutions for complex problems. Scrum Framework is built on empiricism and lean thinking. Scrum employs an iterative, incremental approach to optimize predictability and to control risk.

Empiricism asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is observed (Most recent, Factual, Information). Scrum is founded on the three pillars of Empiricism: Transparency, Inspection and Adaptation.

A Burn Up Chart is a graphical representation used to track how much work has been completed against the time passed. The graph starts at 0-0 at the beginning of the Sprint and will tend (Burn) up towards Right as the days pass and top as the work is completed. A Burn Down Chart is a more effective tracking approach compared to the Burn Up Chart. Also see: Burn Down Chart

Product Roadmap visually represents the strategy and vision of the Product Owner. It may contain the high level requirements in order of customer value, and the direction of the product over time.

Established in 2011, the Manifesto for Agile Software Development (also referred as Agile Manifesto) is a set of four Values and 12 Principles that manifesto authors believe are essential to be adaptable for a team or an organization. Refer: Manifesto for Agile Software Development

The Sprint Retrospective is one of the prescribed Scrum Event - an opportunity for the Scrum Team to inspect itself and create a plan for improvements to be enacted during the next Sprint. The Team may inspect their processes, communication and interactions among people, and tools used to identify opportunities to simplify processes, automate steps, reduce any waste, reduce hand-offs etc. The result of the Sprint Retrospective is improved effectiveness of the Scrum Team and better qualify product/solutions. The end of the retrospective marks the end of the Sprint.

A complex system is a collection of interdependent parts, modules, and/or variables. A perfect understanding of individual parts does not automatically convey a perfect understanding of the whole system's behaviour. The state of a complex system can't be predicted due to the reason that it's parts dynamically change and every change influences the state of other parts and the overall system. Please analyze your work environment in 2021, and identify which of these variables change in your work environment? Customer Needs Technology Talent/People Competition Organizational Goals Marketplace Government Regulation All of the Above If you answered All of the above (or many of the above) your work environment is complex.

The Sprint Backlog is one of the Scrum artifacts that creates transparency of the work of the current Sprint. It is set of Product Backlog Items selected by the Developers for the Sprint, plus a plan for delivering the product Increment and realizing the Sprint Goal.
