An Invitation to a Conversation

The Comperative Scrum assessment increases coherence and understanding between the coach and the team. It is an invitation to a conversation that helps the members of the team and their coach align on a path forward.

A Data-driven Approach to Continuous Improvement

Scrum is by far the most popular framework used for agile ways of working. But as the Scrum Guide cautions, Scrum may be simple to understand, yet difficult to master. The Scrum Series contains two essential Scrum assessments: Comparative Scrum and Advanced Scrum. Together, these survey instruments help practitioners identify the behaviors, norms, and patterns that help teams, and their organizations improve how they do Scrum.

Designed by renowned Scrum expert Angel Diaz-Maroto Alvarez and updated to reflect the latest changes in the 2020 Scrum Guide, the Scrum Series gives you access to data and feedback that will help you uncover strengths and weaknesses and create a roadmap for improvement. Whether you are new to Scrum or an experienced practitioner, the Scrum Series will help you improve how you work at all levels of the organization.
