Scrum 3-5-3 Framework

The Scrum 3-5-3 framework embodies a collaborative and adaptable approach to agile project management, focusing on essential practices for effective Scrum implementation. At its heart, this framework underscores three roles within the Scrum team that are not just about individual responsibilities, but about fostering collaboration and accountability. The five events are not just tasks, but opportunities for effective collaboration, adaption, and delivery of valuable increments. The three artifacts are not just tools, but they provide transparency, communication, and focus throughout the sprint lifecycle, involving everyone in the process.

The Sprint Cycle, a key component of the 3-5-3 framework, is designed to be simple and accessible. It consists of three phases—Sprint Planning, Sprint Execution, and Sprint Review. During these phases, the Scrum team collaborates to deliver increments of valuable product functionality iteratively. By simplifying the Scrum methodology into these fundamental components, the 3-5-3 framework offers a practical and accessible approach for teams to adopt agile principles and achieve project success.

1. Roles:
   • Product Owner: Represents stakeholders, defines product vision, and prioritizes work.
   • Scrum Master: Facilitates Scrum process, removes impediments, and ensures team adherence to Scrum principles.
   • Development Team: Self-organizing group responsible for delivering product increments.
2. Events:
   • Sprint: Time-boxed iteration, typically 2-4 weeks long, where work is completed and reviewed.
   • Sprint Planning: Collaborative meeting to plan the work for the upcoming sprint.
   • Daily Scrum: A short, daily stand-up meeting for the Development Team to sync and plan.
   • Sprint Review: Demo of completed work to stakeholders for feedback.
   • Sprint Retrospective: Reflective meeting for the team to discuss improvements.
3. Artifacts:
   • Product Backlog: List of all desired work prioritized by value.
   • Sprint Backlog: Subset of Product Backlog containing work for the current sprint.
   • Increment: Sum of all completed work from the sprint, potentially shippable to stakeholders.
