Scrum Guide 精读 - 3. Definition

理论篇：scrum的底层逻辑。

Scrum Theory简体中文官方的翻译是Scrum理论，我觉得翻译的有歧义。再次明确一下哈！

scrum首先它就不是一个理论，不存在scrum理论这个东西，我们说的是Scrum的理论依据。

scrum是一个管理方法框架。告诉我们团队角色，活动和交付物怎么组织。那么世界上为什么有那么多人相信这个方法框架能够行得通呢？肯定不是营销或是宣传，也没有人统计数据说，“全世界80%的项目都用scrum，都获得了成功！” ，相反，如果真存在这种统计，我相信比例不会很高，而且吐槽scrum的大有人在。

但是为什么还有那么多团队希望采用这个框架呢？那只能是因为scrum的理论依据足够科学严谨，让人信服，才能够让大家一听觉得，“哦，真的有道理啊！”

Scrum Theory这个章节不复杂，很容易读清楚，非常符合我常说的，贴近底层逻辑的道理，无论采不采用scrum框架，在工作中，面对复杂情况，用这种思维的方式，有条有理，也会帮助你走向成功。

好了，开始解读本章节：

Scrum Theory

Scrum is founded on empiricism and lean thinking. Empiricism asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is observed. Lean thinking reduces waste and focuses on the essentials.

Scrum employs an iterative, incremental approach to optimize predictability and to control risk. Scrum engages groups of people who collectively have all the skills and expertise to do the work and share or acquire such skills as needed.

Scrum combines four formal events for inspection and adaptation within a containing event, the Sprint. These events work because they implement the empirical Scrum pillars of transparency, inspection, and adaptation.

划重点：

Scrum is founded on empiricism and lean thinking. Empiricism asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is observed. Lean thinking reduces waste and focuses on the essentials.

scrum是基于经验主义和精益思想：

• 经验主义主张知识来自于经验，所做的决定应该来自于对事实的观察。

• 精益思想关注减少浪费并且关注本质。
