Value: Courage

The Scrum framework provides guidance to the team on what needs to be done without specifying how it should be accomplished. It requires courage to embrace new approaches and tactics. Courage encompasses the team’s capability to confront challenges, tackle complex tasks, and communicate openly when necessary, even in uncertain or adversity.

Expected Behaviors

  • Tackling challenges and obstacles directly
  • Embracing change as an avenue for improvement and innovation
  • Expressing opinions, concerns, or ideas openly
  • Taking calculated risks and venturing beyond one’s comfort zone
  • Acknowledging mistakes and setbacks
  • Advocating for integrity, fairness, and transparency in all interactions

Unexpected Behaviors

  • Avoiding or disregarding challenges and obstacles
  • Feeling threatened by new approaches or team members
  • Intimidating or dominating others within the team
  • Taking risks without considering potential consequences
  • Struggling to admit faults due to pride or ego
  • Making decisions that harm others or violate ethical principles
