Scrum is now the #1 agile software development framework — and its success is based in large part on the perceived intuitiveness and simplicity of its concepts. However, when new Scrum practitioners attempt to translate Scrum’s theory and high-level approaches into specific techniques for actual projects, doing so is often more difficult than they expected.
