Contract between Organization and the Scrum Team

will use the stakeholders’ time wisely, focusing on questions relevant to
the work being done now
will do quality work the best way they know how within the constraints
set forth by the organization
will deliver demonstrable product at the end of every sprint for review
and validation by stakeholders

stakeholders (& SMEs) available to help when needed
will help ScrumMaster in removing impediments
will not change priorities or constraints mid-sprint without team consent
being on a Scrum team will not hurt Team Members’ careers
