Scrum Self Organization

Scrum believes that employees are self-motivated and seek to accept greater responsibility. So, they deliver much greater value when self-organized.

The preferred leadership style in Scrum is "servant leadership", which emphasizes achieving results by focusing on the needs of the Scrum Team.

  • Team buy-in and shared ownership

  • Motivation, which leads to an enhanced performance level of the team

  • Innovative and creative environment conducive to growth
