Abstract: Unleashing the Power of Scrum through its Disciplines Description.
In 1990 Peter Senge published his seminal work, “The Fifth Discipline.” The five disciplines contained in the book are key to successful organizations, and have profoundly changed organizations that have adopted them. They are particularly important to the success of Scrum teams; in fact, they are part of the foundation of Scrum. However, many Scrum practitioners are not aware of the five disciplines. In this tutorial, you will learn about the five disciplines and how they are the foundation of team transformation. You will participate in group exercises that explore how to apply them to unleash the power of Scrum in your organization.
