The November 2020 update to the Scrum Guide reflected the growing trend of Scrum being used outside the software industry. To make Scrum more accessible and applicable to a broader audience, the update sought to simplify the language and remove references specifically tied to IT. This change aimed to make Scrum a more universal framework.
Additionally, the update simplified several concepts and removed many prescriptive practices. This shift emphasised Scrum as a flexible framework rather than a rigid set of rules, allowing teams from various industries to adapt it to their specific needs and contexts.
