Lyrics
VERSE 1
Somebody once told me my team is moving slowly
And our project turned from yellow to red
I was looking for some fun, a new way to get to done
And heard Scrum may help us get ahead
CHORUS
Well the sprints start coming and they don't stop coming
Read the Scrum Guide rules and we hit the ground running
Didn't make sense before we started Scrum
We worked real hard but never were "done"
So much to do so much see
So we start inspect-and-adapting
We focus on optimizing flow
We gotta keep WIP limits low
Hey now, you're a Scrum Star, get your Scrum on, each day
Hey now, you're a Scrum Star, get your Sprint on, iterate
With all this transparency
We found using Scrum brings agility
VERSE 2
It’s a framework and it’s really quite clever
Reflect each Sprint and keep getting better
And the value that we deliver
Reveals new things for us to consider
The work complete is just a small piece
The customer is waiting so we gotta release
Our team delivers so much more
We’re better with Scrum now than ever before
VERSE 3
Somebody once asked could you help me with my tasks
I need to change the way that I am working
I said yep, what a concept, let’s find the skills we need and prep
And we’ll form a cross functional team
