-Re-based scrum is simple. Try it as is and determine if its philosophy, theory, and structure help to achieve goals and create value.

Rather than provide people with detailed instructions, the rules of scrum guide their relationships and interactions.+OpenScrum is simple.

-  The following is a direct copy of the Scrum Guide and has not been adapted yet:+===== OpenScrum Values =====
  
-<code>+OpenScrum uses the values of the International Cooperative Alliance
  
-Scrum Values+self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity.
  
-Successful use of Scrum depends on people becoming more proficient in living five values:+===== Cooperative Principles ====
  
-Commitment, Focus, Openness, Respect, and Courage+The cooperative principles are guidelines by which cooperatives put their values into practice.
  
 + 1. Voluntary and Open Membership
 +
 +Cooperatives are voluntary organisations, open to all persons able to use their services and willing to accept the responsibilities of membership, without gender, social, racial, political or religious discrimination.
 +
 + 2. Democratic Member Control
 +
 +Cooperatives are democratic organisations controlled by their members, who actively participate in setting their policies and making decisions. Men and women serving as elected representatives are accountable to the membership. In primary cooperatives members have equal voting rights (one member, one vote) and cooperatives at other levels are also organised in a democratic manner.
 +
 + 3. Member Economic Participation
 +
 +Members contribute equitably to, and democratically control, the capital of their cooperative. At least part of that capital is usually the common property of the cooperative. Members usually receive limited compensation, if any, on capital subscribed as a condition of membership. Members allocate surpluses for any or all of the following purposes: developing their cooperative, possibly by setting up reserves, part of which at least would be indivisible; benefiting members in proportion to their transactions with the cooperative; and supporting other activities approved by the membership.
 +
 + 4. Autonomy and Independence
 +
 +Cooperatives are autonomous, self-help organisations controlled by their members. If they enter into agreements with other organisations, including governments, or raise capital from external sources, they do so on terms that ensure democratic control by their members and maintain their cooperative autonomy.
 +
 + 5. Education, Training, and Information
 +
 +Cooperatives provide education and training for their members, elected representatives, managers, and employees so they can contribute effectively to the development of their co-operatives. They inform the general public - particularly young people and opinion leaders - about the nature and benefits of co-operation.
 +
 + 6. Cooperation among Cooperatives
 +
 +Cooperatives serve their members most effectively and strengthen the cooperative movement by working together through local, national, regional and international structures.
 +
 + 7. Concern for Community
 +
 +Cooperatives work for the sustainable development of their communities through policies approved by their members.
 +
 +==== Design Principles for Governing the Commons ====
 +
 +From //Governing the Commons//, [[https://openlibrary.org/books/OL1850361M/Governing_the_commons | Ostrom, Elinor (1990)]]
 +
 +  - Clearly defined boundaries
 +  - Congruence between appropriation, provision rules and local conditions
 +  - Collective-choice arrangements
 +  - Monitoring
 +  - Graduated sanctions
 +  - Conflict-resolution mechanisms
 +  - Minimal recognition of rights to organize
 +
 +For commons that are parts of larger systems:
 +
 +8. Nested enterprises: The design principles for commons need to appear in multiple layers of the larger systems.

 The Scrum Team commits to achieving its goals and to supporting each other. Their primary focus is on the work of the Sprint to make the best possible progress toward these goals. The Scrum Team and its stakeholders are open about the work and the challenges. Scrum Team members respect each other to be capable, independent people, and are respected as such by the people with whom they work. The Scrum Team members have the courage to do the right thing, to work on tough problems. The Scrum Team commits to achieving its goals and to supporting each other.
