Abstract
Having reviewed literature, the OCAI analysis and the findings from the open questions, a pattern becomes apparent. All findings point in the same direction, in that there is no fundamental gap between literature and the expectations of individuals (cf. Sect. 22.6). While it was not clear at the beginning of this study if something such as a “Scrum culture” existed, it is now obvious that indeed people expect Scrum to work and succeed in conjunction with certain circumstances, values, and rules. Since people tend to project their expectations onto organizations and shape them accordingly, an impact on organizations has to be expected. This impact will be similar across a multitude of enterprises, therefore it can be said that Scrum has inherent cultural characteristics. A Scrum culture does exist.
