For Scrum to be successful, there are five values the Scrum team needs to be proficient in. They are:
- Commitment: The Scrum Team commits to achieving its goals and to supporting each other.
- Focus: Their primary focus is on the work of the Sprint to make the best possible progress toward these goals.
- Openness: The Scrum Team and its stakeholders are open about the work and the challenges.
- Respect: Scrum Team members respect each other to be capable, independent people, and are respected as such by the people with whom they work.
- Courage: The Scrum Team members have the courage to do the right thing, to work on tough problems.
