In a galaxy far, far away where the battle between good and evil unfolds, an unexpected framework emerges helping the Rebel Forces take over the dreadful Galactic Empire…
The Scrum!
In this article, we deep dive into the realm of Jedi Κnights and Sith Lords to explore how the values of Scrum — Commitment, Courage, Focus, Openness and Respect — are reflected throughout this epic saga.
So, let us use the agile mindset as our Millennium Falcon, embark on this intergalactic journey and witness how the values of Scrum align with the forces of the Star Wars universe.
The Jedi Code and Scrum’s Dedication to Success aka Commitment:
Just as the Jedi are committed to protect the galaxy, scrum teams are also committed to what they do. The Jedi’s promise to uphold peace and justice mirrors the dedication of scrum teams to deliver high-quality results. Both prioritize their missions and remain focused on achieving their objectives.
Luke Skywalker’s Journey and Scrum’s Bold Decision-Making aka Courage:
Luke Skywalker’s path from farm boy to Jedi Knight excels the value of courage, as he confronts fear but acts boldly through his choices. Scrum teams also require courage to take risks, challenge when needed and make tough decisions to achieve project success. Both Luke and Scrum teams are brave and they both know that great results come through great challenges.
The Jedi’s Mindfulness and Scrum’s Goal-Oriented Approach aka Focus:
The Jedi’s ability to focus their minds and embrace the present moment aligns with Scrum’s emphasis on Focus. Through the Force, Jedi hone their concentration, enabling them to overcome obstacles and achieve their objectives. Similarly, Scrum teams prioritize their efforts, focusing on delivering incremental value, meeting sprint goals, and adapting their plans as needed.
The Force and Scrum’s Transparent Communication aka Openness:
The Force, the pure energy that connects all living beings, mirrors scrum’s openness. Jedi training emphasizes openness to fully tap into the Force. Samewise, scrum promotes transparent communication where team members openly share progress, challenges and ideas, enabling them to harness the collective intelligence for continuous improvement.
The Jedi Knights and Scrum’s Collaborative Culture aka Respect:
The Jedi Knights are unique people that are wise, with many powers and authority, manifests the value of Respect. Within scrum, a culture of respect is fostered among team members, where opinions and expertise are valued. Similar to the Jedi Knights’ commitment to collective decision-making, scrum teams encourage open dialogue and consider diverse perspectives to drive innovative solutions.
In the Star Wars saga, the scrum framework encounters a remarkable habitat, tightly connected to the fabric of the galaxy’s legends. Just as the Jedi uphold Commitment, Courage, Focus, Openness and Respect in their pursuit for balance in the Galaxy, scrum teams utilize these values to harness these values to bypass complexities and bring valuable results.
I wish you to enjoy the journey my young padawan apprentice and embrace the power of agility and teamwork to achieve extraordinary results and always remember…
May the SCRUM be with You!
