Scrum's 3 pillars of empiricism (process-focused) enable evidence-based progress in delivering value. For Agile (mindset-focused), the pillars are based on the environment, and members are involved in building or creating value. By consistently embodying Agile values, teams build trust, which is the basis for effective collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement in Scrum.
Trust is the foundation of self-organizing Agile teams - it accelerates communication, fuels adaptability, and unlocks high performance. Without it, teams fracture into silos, blame games, and wasted energy. But with trust, they collaborate fearlessly, pivot swiftly, and deliver consistently.
