Courage – Members speak up about challenges and take initiative. Focus – Everyone stays aligned on Sprint goals. Openness – Honest communication about progress and problems.

Instead of assigning blame, the team rallies to support — pair programming to stay on track. That’s Scrum values in action. Follow On: Scrum Ceremonies:

Real-world example (ShopNest)
