Collaboration Plan

In Scrum, collaboration is critical. A Collaboration Plan explains how decision makers, business stakeholders, and team members will interact, share information, coordinate work, and make decisions.

Key Points

  • Defines roles, responsibilities, and decision-making pathways across the team and stakeholders.
  • Specifies communication channels, meeting cadences, and collaboration tools.
  • Sets expectations for transparency, feedback loops, and conflict resolution.
  • Aligns engagement practices with Scrum events and artifacts for continuous alignment.

Example

On a software product initiative, the Collaboration Plan states that the Product Owner meets stakeholders every Friday for review, the team holds daily standups on Slack and Zoom, backlog refinement occurs mid-sprint, decisions about scope changes follow a clear escalation path (PO then steering group), and Jira is the single source of truth for work and status.

PMP Example Question

Which statement best describes the purpose of a Collaboration Plan in a Scrum project?

  1. It defines how team members and stakeholders will work together, share information, and make decisions.
  2. It lists all deliverables and the detailed schedule baseline.
  3. It authorizes the project and names the sponsor and project manager.
  4. It catalogs risks and documents mitigation actions and owners.

Correct Answer: A — Defines how people work together and make decisions

Explanation: A Collaboration Plan focuses on collaboration patterns: interactions, decision paths, communication methods, and cadence. The other options describe different artifacts (schedule baseline, charter, risk register).

ICS/OT Cybersecurity Fundamentals — Security Built for Industrial Systems

Industrial control systems cannot be secured like ordinary IT. A forced reboot, aggressive scan, or incompatible patch can interrupt production and create real safety consequences. Effective OT security begins with understanding the systems, constraints, and risks unique to industrial environments.

This course gives IT professionals, engineers, operators, and security practitioners a practical foundation in ICS threats, zone and conduit design, risk assessment, passive asset visibility, and vendor evaluation. You will learn how IEC 62443, NIST CSF, and MITRE ATT&CK for ICS apply where availability and safety come first.

Eight reconstructed incidents—including Stuxnet, Triton, Ukraine 2015, Colonial Pipeline, and PIPEDREAM—show how attackers move through OT environments, what they target, and which defenses could have changed the outcome.

Watch the course preview, then build the vocabulary, frameworks, and judgment needed to take credible first steps in ICS/OT cybersecurity.

Build the Sprint Reporting System, Not Another Prompt

AI Systems with Claude is our own course for Scrum Masters and Agile Project Managers, taught against one running project across seven sections. You build five working systems and keep them: the sprint report machine, the retro intelligence system, the stakeholder comms engine, the backlog health monitor, and the risk and dependency tracker. Direct from HK School of Management, not on Udemy.
