Scrum & Agile — Cheatsheets

Agile Manifesto — four values

Prefer	Over (still valued, just less)

|---|---|

Individuals and interactions	Processes and tools
Working software	Comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration	Contract negotiation
Responding to change	Following a plan

Certification	Issuing body	Focus

|---|---|---|

CSM	Scrum Alliance	Scrum framework, ScrumMaster role
PSM I	Scrum.org	Scrum framework, assessed via Scrum Guide
SAFe	Scaled Agile, Inc.	Multi-team/program agile coordination

(needs verification — recheck against current source: certification requirements periodically updated.)

Role	Responsibility

|---|---|

Product Owner	Maximizes value; manages Product Backlog priority
Scrum Master	Establishes Scrum, coaches self-management, removes impediments
Developers	Create the usable Increment each Sprint

Pillar	Meaning

|---|---|

Transparency	Process aspects visible to those responsible
Inspection	Frequently checking artifacts/progress
Adaptation	Adjusting quickly when deviation detected

Event	Purpose

|---|---|

Sprint	Container iteration (1-4 weeks)
Sprint Planning	Plan the Sprint's work, set Sprint Goal
Daily Scrum	Developers inspect progress, adapt next-day plan
Sprint Review	Inspect outcome with stakeholders, adapt Product Backlog
Sprint Retrospective	Inspect process/people/tools, plan improvements

Artifact	Commitment

|---|---|

Product Backlog	Product Goal
Sprint Backlog	Sprint Goal
Increment	Definition of Done

Anti-pattern	Problem

|---|---|

"Scrum but"	Runs events' form while skipping their actual purpose
Mini-waterfall Sprints	Sequential phases instead of genuine iteration
Product Owner absenteeism	Team lacks timely clarification/prioritization

Property	Scrum & Agile (this technology)	PMP's agile coverage

|---|---|---|

Scope	Specific framework mechanics	Agile as one of three approach domains
Depth	Roles, events, artifacts in detail	Broader project-management application
