Explanation

Scrum is founded on empirical process control, upheld by three pillars: Transparency (C) - the process and work must be visible to those responsible for the outcome; Inspection (F) - Scrum artifacts and progress must be frequently inspected; and Adaptation (B) - if inspection reveals that aspects deviate beyond acceptable limits, the process or material must be adjusted. Cross-functionality, self-organization, and agility are important Scrum values/traits, but not the three pillars.
