As a Scrum Master, how do you ensure that the ‘Transparency, Inspection and Adaptation’ Scrum Pillars are being implemented by the team?

Answer»

Scrum prescribes four formal events for inspection and adaptation, as described in the Scrum Events section of the Scrum Guide; as a Scrum MASTER you should attend the events and ENSURE the team is following the ‘Transparency, INSPECT and Adapt’ processes: 

  • Sprint Planning
    • Inspect the average Team Velocity over the previous 3 or 4 Sprints, ensure that the velocities have been Transparent to the team and ensure that the team Adapt the Velocity to be used for planning the Sprint
    • Inspect the Product Backlog (PB) and ensure that it is up to date, that it is Transparent to all stakeholders and that the team Adapts the PBI estimates if necessary
  • Daily Scrum
    • Inspect the Team Board and Adapt the plan for the next day ensuring changes are Transparent to all the team
    • Inspect the Impediments Board and Adapt plans to resolve impediments if necessary
  • Sprint Review 
    • Inspect the increment and Adapt the Product Backlog if necessary making sure that any changes are Transparent to all stakeholders
    • Inspect the Release Plan and Adapt it if necessary making sure that any changes are Transparent to all stakeholders
  • Sprint Retrospective
    • Inspect the PROCESS that has been followed and make plans to Adapt the process if necessary making sure that any changes are Transparent to all team MEMBERS
