Scrum in ten slides

02.29.12Posted by Pierre Mengal + in management0 CommentsTags: agile, scrum

When I needed to do presentations of Scrum to executives and students, I started to look for existing ones. Most presentations I found were very good for detailed presentations or training. But what I was looking for was a presentation I could give in less than 15 minutes (or more if I wanted). Most of them also contained out dated content. For example, the latest changes in the Scrum framework were not present and what has been removed was still there.

I decided to start over and created a new presentation with the following objectives:

Based on the official Scrum Guide: the structure is very similar and I attempted to extract only the essentials.
Not more than 10 slides (without the front and back cover).
The least text possible to extend the possibility for the presenter to say what is important to his organization without missing the core principles of Scrum.
Having good visuals to make it attractive.
A final invitation to read the official Scrum Guide for those who wanted more detailed information.

The result is a ten slide presentation that you can download then use as a powerpoint by clicking on the button below. Images are also available so you can use another presentation tool.

UPDATE 14th of January 2018: I updated the slides to integrate latest Scrum Guide modifications.
