“You cannot manage what you cannot measure” is an old adage in the project management world. Is this still valid in the Agile and Scrum world where people are preferred over processes and tools? In fact Scrum is disciplined and uses a lot of metrics, so you might like this newly proposed Scrum Adherence Index.

The Essential Scrum Glossary is a list of definitions of terms used in Scrum in particular and in Agile in general. An entry in the glossary might be a single word, such as “epic”, a phrase, such as “all-at-once product development”, or an acronym like “TDD”. The definitions are numbered if a term has more than one definition.
Alistair Cockburn describes software development as a cooperative game. Scrum provides one set of rules for one such way of playing the game. The Scrum Guide is the official rule book. However, the Scrum Guide doesn’t tell you the rationale behind Scrum as a whole, or behind many of its successful practices. Those rationales come out of experience, community, and the insights of its founders and inventors. The ScrumPLoP mission is to build a body of pattern literature around those communities, describing those insights, so we can easily share them with the Scrum and Agile communities.
