Collaboration

In Scrum, collaboration means the core team works together and engages with business stakeholders to build and verify project deliverables so they align with the goals defined in the Project Vision.

Key Points

  • The Scrum Core Team partners closely with business stakeholders throughout development.
  • Deliverables are created iteratively and validated through ongoing feedback.
  • Events like backlog refinement, Daily Scrum, and Sprint Review promote shared understanding and transparency.
  • Collaboration keeps the work aligned with the Project Vision and desired outcomes.

Example

During a sprint, the Scrum Team demos a new reporting feature to finance and compliance stakeholders in the Sprint Review, captures their feedback on calculations and layout, updates the Product Backlog, and plans adjustments next sprint so the increment aligns with the Project Vision.

PMP Example Question

Which action best demonstrates collaboration in Scrum?

  1. The Scrum Master approves the increment without stakeholder input.
  2. The team and Product Owner hold a Sprint Review with key business users to inspect the increment and gather feedback.
  3. The Product Owner completes a full requirements document before the first sprint and freezes scope.
  4. The sponsor sends monthly status reports to stakeholders with no team involvement.

Correct Answer: B - The Scrum Team and stakeholders inspect the increment together and validate it against the Project Vision.

Explanation: Collaboration in Scrum is about the core team working with business stakeholders to create and validate deliverables. A Sprint Review enables joint inspection and feedback, while the other options limit or exclude stakeholder engagement.
