Adaptation

Adaptation is the ongoing adjustments the Scrum Core Team and business stakeholders make after learning from transparency and inspection, improving how they work and the results they deliver.

Key Points

  • Triggered by learning gained through transparency and inspection.
  • Leads to timely changes in process, product, or team practices.
  • Commonly occurs after events like Sprint Review and Retrospective.
  • Requires shared ownership across the Scrum Core Team and stakeholders.

Example

After a Sprint Review reveals user confusion about a new feature, the Scrum Core Team and business stakeholders refine the backlog, adjust the workflow, and update acceptance criteria to improve usability in the next Sprint.
