Essential Scrum (without being a purist)

Scrum in 5 minutes: sprints, roles and events, applied to your project.

Scrum is an iterative work framework. Unlike Kanban, it organizes work into fixed-duration sprints (1-2 weeks) with clear objectives. Plan each sprint in the calendar.

The 3 pillars of Scrum

PillarWhat it means
TransparencyThe whole team sees the same board
InspectionProgress is reviewed regularly
AdaptationThe plan is adjusted each sprint

How to apply Scrum in Syncro

1. Define your sprint

Select tasks from the backlog and move them to the board. That's your sprint.

2. 15-minute daily standup

Each morning, every member answers in the chat:

  • What did I do yesterday?
  • What will I do today?
  • Am I blocked?

3. Sprint end review

Look at completed tasks on the board. Did you meet the objective? What to improve?

Scrum or Kanban?

If you need...Use...
Total flexibilityKanban
Clear deadlinesScrum
Velocity estimationScrum
Continuous flowKanban

In Syncro you can combine both: Kanban board + 2-week sprints = best of both worlds.


Tip: You don't need all Scrum roles (Scrum Master, Product Owner) to start. Start with sprints and retrospectives.
