Why Scrum? Software development teams often face these pain points:

1. The product is useless, work like a dog, but no sense of accomplishment.
   => Potential Shippable
2. Plans can’t catch up with changes. Requirements change too fast to focus on one thing.
   => Iterative and short cycles
3. Business and R&D are always talking, and users are always complaining.
   => Openness and communication
4. Time is tight, tasks are heavy, everything is high priority, always in the fire, do not finish and anxiety
   => Customer Value Driven and prioritization of product
5. All stresses and risks are concentrated in the latter stages, and the busier they become, the more chaotic they end up to become.
   => Minimum Viable product (MIP) philosophy
6. Good habits and processes do not persist, they are nothing.
   => Clear roles, events, artifacts and rules to reinforce best practices of the team (i.e. Scrum framework and values 3355)
7. Without the help of talented people, the cattle are still losing and the team is scattering sand.
8. Personal work and life imbalance, from overtime to resignation
   => Open Product Backlog Item estimation, Scrum Board and team, velocity and burndown to ensure fair progress and work load of the team.
