The Scrum health check is a simple tool to assess your current implementation of Scrum. This simple check can be done on a sprintly basis, especially for organisations undergoing transformation to Agile. Just answer the following questions under three keys areas, Scrum Roles, Scrum Ceremonies and Scrum Artefacts. It might be interesting to have the team go through this check at a retrospective.

Perform Health Check

Scrum Roles

Within the Scrum Framework three roles are defined: The Scrum Team, Scrum Master, and Scrum Product Owner. Each of these roles has a defined set of responsibilities and only if they fulfil these responsibilities, closely interact and work together they can finish a project successfully.

Scrum Ceremonies

Scrum has four ceremonies that bring structure to each sprint: Sprint planning: A team planning meeting that determines what to complete in the coming sprint. Daily stand-up: Also known as a daily scrum, a 15-minute mini-meeting for the software team to sync. Sprint demo: A sharing meeting where the team shows what they’ve shipped in that sprint. Sprint retrospective

Scrum Artefacts

Scrum’s artifacts represent work or value in various ways that are useful in providing transparency and opportunities for inspection and adaptation. Artifacts defined by Scrum are specifically designed to maximize transparency of key information needed to ensure Scrum Teams are successful in delivering a “Done” Increment
