Quintessential Thought
In every successful Scrum journey, the heartbeat is its values. Introducing F.O.R.C.C. - the lifeblood of Scrum that defines how we excel, collaborate, and conquer challenges:
- Focus: Dive deep into what truly matters. No distractions, just undivided attention to our primary mission.
- Openness: Authenticity is our strength. Share perspectives, challenges, and solutions freely.
- Respect: Treasure every team member. We're more than colleagues; we're partners in success.
- Courage: Brave the tough conversations. Push boundaries. Challenge the status quo.
- Commitment: Dedicate yourself to the team's vision and goals. Every step counts.
Infused into the 2015 Scrum Guide, these values don't just shape our work but elevate our human connections. Remember, emotions don't cease at the office door. Recognizing, understanding, and valuing the human side of Scrum paves the way to unparalleled success.
Facing challenges in your Scrum journey? Reflect on F.O.R.C.C. Are you truly embracing these values in every Sprint, every Review, every Daily Scrum? Let's realign, recharge, and elevate our use of Scrum!
Quotes
“Always remember, your focus determines your reality.” — George Lucas
“As all human beings are, in my view, creatures of God's design, we must respect all other human beings. That does not mean I have to agree with their choices or agree with their opinions, but indeed I respect them as human beings.” ― Stockwell Day
“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” ― Nelson Mandela
Quick Step
Do a retrospective with your team focused on the Scrum Values. Ask them to rank their use on a scale of 1-5. Then come up with an action to improve 1.
