Scrum Scripture

From Pirate Software Wiki

The Holy Scripture outlines the way of the Scrum and forms the intellectual foundation of the religion. On Thors stream, it is occasionally cited by the Scrum Witch.

Notable passages

These are passages that have been read by the Scrum Witch on stream:

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and it was a static void, and it was private. And God said: "It is not good that the void should be private; I will make it protected, so it can be enjoyed by everyone, and no harm shall befall it."

[...]

And God said: "Let the earth sprout a great many paradigms and programming patterns, and binary trees bearing random number generators in which is their seed, each according to its kind." And it was so. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning; the third sprint.

There arose a multitude of programming languages, each with its own purpose and tongue. And the developers did labor in the fields of code, crafting their programs with care. And lo, there came forth a method known as SCRUM, a methodology of Agile origin, wherein teams did gather daily to discuss their toils and chart their course. They did break their work into sprints, and they sought to deliver value unto the kingdom with each sprint's end.

[…]

In SCRUM, there was a Scrum Master, a shepherd of the team, who guided and protected them from impediments. And a Product Owner, who held the vision and prioritized the work. And the Developers, skilled craftsmen, who wrought the code and brought the software to life.

If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth. Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.

As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his meeting. Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man' friend by hearty stand-up.
