Conflicting opinions have been expressed (both in our team and in Scrum Alliance articles) as to whether the ScrumMaster is also active in development (e.g. in writing code). It would be useful to have a clear answer (yes, no, unspecified) so that we can stop discussing what Scrum is and get down to whether it is true-Scrum that we want or something resembling it.

Add Agile Manifesto and Explain definition of Done more clearly in the last part of scrum guide.

Add situation based example. like the one we have in the last part of the Management Plaza Guide

"The purpose of each Sprint is to deliver Increments of potentially releasable functionality that adhere to the Scrum Team’s current definition of “Done.” "

Suggest instead:
"The purpose of each Sprint is to deliver **one or more** Increments of potentially releasable functionality that adhere to the Scrum Team’s current definition of “Done.”

We tend to read less and watch more movies instead.
With that in mind I created this video which you could consider adding as an alternative or first introduction.

I had someone in a Scrum class ask me if there was a way for her to get notifications of when the Scrum Guide changes. I thought it was an interesting idea for consideration.

Please provide E- tutorials and open assessments as free of cost . Because people with lot of scum knowledge hungry , but not have enough money to learn can benefit

What all documentation can be done as part of Scrum? Like Design documentation, Requirement design documents..

We must have a some guidance from Scrum Guide on this.

It would be extremely useful to post some tips on how to successfully implement Scrum on data mining/analytics projects, particularly for those that follow a data mining framework like CRISP-DM.

It is not clear who the "target" of individual activities is in this section ("service to the development team" is much clearer). For example, should the SM or the PM understand product planning in an empirical environment. Should "helping the Scrum Team understand the need for clear and concise product backlog items" read "helping the Product Owner understand..."?

I am doing Hindi translation of Scrum Guide. What is the process to make it avialble on scrumguide.org

The section "Definition of Done" includes the following paragraph:

"Each Increment is additive to all prior Increments and thoroughly tested, ensuring that all Increments work together."

Looking at the text preceding and following it, this paragraph looks a bit out of place. Also, unlike the other bits related to the Increment in this section, it does not refer to "Done" at all.

I propose moving it to the "Increment" section because it is part of the definition of what an Increment is.

"Helping the Development Team to create high-value products;" is a phrase ascribed as a task for the SM. It seems a bit vague in it's context. If what you mean is that the SM does this when he encourages and teaches all the Scrum rules, then I understand. But in it's current context it seems like another action to perform but an action that isn't really defined.

Add this verbiage to the last question of the Daily Standup: "..., or see any opportunity enablers that if implemented can improve team performance to meet the Sprint Goal"

Do you see any value in a one-page RACI addition to the Scrum Guide?

I've been learning all about Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), and proposed the need for a RACI. It was actually on their list for 4.0 considerations, which was nice to know. SAFe has additional roles and teams identified at the program and portfolio levels.

Also, I had weeks of agile-based training thru ThoughtWorks back in 2010, and their training materials had so many responsibilities embedded throughout that I saw value in creating my own RACI.

I see what I believe as an incorrect word in the Topic One subsection of Sprint Planning. The last sentence has "The Sprint Goal is an objective that will be met within the Sprint through the implementation of the PRODUCT Backlog", when PRODUCT should be SPRINT. Agree or disagree?

The beginning of the guide currently reads "Scrum is a framework within which people can address complex adaptive problems, while productively and creatively delivering products of the highest possible value."

This tells me the benefits of Scrum, not what Scrum is, and thus is less meaningful. I would propose changing it to:

"Scrum is a framework where products are developed by a self-organizing team, in multiple fixed-length sprints, in full collaboration with a product owner, using Agile values and principles throughout."

"All incomplete Product Backlog Items are re-estimated and put back on the Product Backlog."
How can you put a Product Backlog Item "back" on the Product Backlog? By definition it is already on the Product Backlog.
My interpretation: They are put back from the Sprint Backlog to the Product Backlog. This would mean these sets are disjoint.
Which seems unlogical, because per definition the product backlog consists of all things that "constitute the changes to be made to the product in future releases" which includes the Sprint Backlog.
