The 4 Agile Values of Scrum Masters

A defined way of doing projects is fine when you don’t anticipate the requirements to change. The reality is, however, that a project with all requirements known up front just doesn’t exist.

With Agile, you’re reflecting and adapting to your process frequently throughout the entire project. You can adjust the course rapidly (and cheaply). One framework for implementing the values and principles of the Agile Manifesto is Scrum.
