为了打破第一个迷思,我更愿意区分一下方法论和框架的概念。方法论与框架一个特定的方法论是一组定义良好的原则、概念、工具和相关实践,它们指导过程以满足一个集中的目标。这种方法从根本上来说更具规范性。另一方面,框架是一种灵活但不完整的结构,它为整个过程所需的不同实践和相关工具留下了空间。因此,框架实际上不太具有规定性。人们经常把Scrum称为方法论。从实际的角度来看,Scrum不是一种方法论,从定义上看也不是。相反,Scrum专注于经验主义的科学实现。因此,它以一种平衡的方式在定义良好的原则和相关实践之间找到了共鸣。自我管理的团队和他们专注的集体智慧构成了Scrum的基础。 The teams solve varieties of complex problems through a series of adaptive solutions. Myth 2 – Agile is equivalent to Scrum 50% of people I interact with use Agile and Scrum interchangeably. When they say something like 'We are performing or doing Agile', they mean they are doing Scrum. On a practical note, these two things are not the same. Scrum is invariably a technical, lightweight framework. It strategically helps teams and organisations generate value via adaptive solutions suitable for solving complex problems. Agile covers a larger arena with a well-defined set of values, concepts and principles. Scrum does fall under the expansive umbrella of Agile, but there are many other concepts like it. In addition, implementing Scrum doesn't mean you are Agile. To become agile, developing an agile mindset is extremely important. Implementing Scrum doesn't guarantee that you would become Agile but certainly helps build habits that can enhance Agility. Myth 3 – Cross Functionality means each team member should perform every task A cross-functional team is an efficient group of people who have a clear goal, representing various disciplines under the concerned organisation. The team's combined efforts are meant to add value to the process. Scrum Teams are, by nature, cross-functional. This does not mean every team member would display every kind of skill. It means the cross-functional attribute of the Scrum Team would benefit the group and organisation from an overall perspective.
