It offers a minimum set of values and practices but doesn't define everything a team needs to do to successfully build and release products. Teams are expected to complement the Scrum framework with practices to suit their unique environment. Many teams struggle in two areas: to 1) how to live by Scrum values and 2) how to adopt complementary practices.So how do you fix this?
