Scrum Pillars

Transparency, inspection, and adaptation: the three pillars of Scrum's empirical process control.

Definition

Transparency makes process and work visible; inspection detects undesirable variances; adaptation adjusts as soon as possible when deviations exceed acceptable limits. Each Scrum event is a formal opportunity to inspect and adapt.

Example

The Sprint Review inspects the Increment and adapts the Product Backlog.

Exam tip

Know which artifact or event supports which pillar.
