Hi Lane -
I think it misses one of the most important elements of Scrum -
communication. The list needs to include a daily scrum, at least. I need to
know more about the product owner than who they are - I want to know what
they did yesterday, what they plan to do today, and whether they have any
obstacles. Same with the rest of the team.
In addition, all teams encounter disruptions to their work - the survey
might ask whether these disruptions are addressed immediately and directly.
One could answer all of these survey questions correctly and still not be
"implementing Scrum correctly".
There are those on this list that would say the only measure of success is
"working software" - regardless of how well you implemented Scrum.
