Commitment

Official Value

Commitment means the team dedicates itself to achieving its goals and supporting each other.

Plain English explanation

Commitment means the Scrum Team is dedicated to its goals and to helping each other succeed.

What it means

The team commits to the Sprint Goal, quality standards, and continuous improvement.

Why it matters

Without commitment, goals become optional and progress becomes inconsistent.

How it works

The team aligns around shared goals and takes responsibility for delivering value together.

Key idea

Commitment is about dedication to the goal, not blind obligation.
