You will occasionally see it written incorrectly:

❌ scrum - Not capitalized

❌ SCRUM - All caps (incorrect, as Scrum is not an acronym)

Other Scrum terms should also be capitalized:

  • Sprint
  • Product Owner
  • Scrum Master
  • Product Backlog
  • Sprint Review
  • Sprint Planning
  • Sprint Retrospective
  • Specification Review
  • Spec Review
  • Backlog Refinement
  • Definition of Done
  • Burn-down Chart
  • Burn-up Chart
  • Work Item
