A practical checklist helps teams determine if they're genuinely practicing Scrum or just using the name. The litmus test includes nine must-have basics: sprint length of one month or less, defined Scrum roles (Product Owner, Scrum Master, Developers), a sprint goal, daily scrums, usable increments, sprint reviews with stakeholders, sprint retrospectives, and a consistent definition of done. Missing any single element means you're not doing Scrum. The framework also provides deeper validation across nine categories including team structure, product backlog management, sprint cadence, and living the five Scrum values (Focus, Openness, Respect, Commitment, Courage).
