Scrum theory holds that decisions are best based on what?
Answer: What is observed
Empiricism asserts knowledge comes from experience and decisions are based on what is observed.
Why is Scrum intentionally kept lightweight and minimal?
Answer: So teams add the practices that fit their context
By defining only the essentials, Scrum lets teams layer in context-appropriate practices.
An organization renames roles and drops the Retrospective but calls it Scrum. Theory says this is what?
