Scrum is a process framework that enables lean, agile, and competitive approaches to product management and development. While Scrum is conceptually simple and involves only a few roles, artifacts, and ceremonies, its practices demand discipline and its implementation causes a paradigm shift in product management and development. Many teams and organizations implement Scrum practices, but don't readily absorb its underlying philosophy, and thus don't maximize their return on adoption as they enact its practices.

This session focuses on introducing Scrum with lessons learned and practical insight in how it relates to Product Management; and how to absorb its philosophy and enact its practices for maximum return.
