Schwaber (2007) in his book called Enterprise and Scrum already have 1,2,3 rules to adopt Scrum.
- Creating backlog, a simple user story model
- Iteration activity as a heart of the Scrum
- And working software that increment the functionality
The rules is done by three roles the Product Owner, the team, and the Scrum Master. All management responsibilities in a project are divided between these three roles. The Scrum Master is responsible for the Scrum process, for teaching it to everyone involved in the project, for implementing it so that it fits within an organization's culture and still delivers the expected benefits, and for ensuring that everyone follows its rules and practices. The Scrum process is simple and mostly focused how team collaborate effectively using daily plan and appropriate tools. You can learn and develop a software with fun using this method.
