Definition
Every Scrum Project needs a vision. One that is clear and well-defined. It’s important for people to understand the exact nature of the release, and not just vaguely understand and process it to a less than optimal capacity. The vision acts as the project’s true ‘guiding light’, and becomes a benchmark towards which the team works towards.
It is the overlooking goal that everyone in the team must share. The Product Owner, Scrum Master, Development Team, Stakeholders and the eventual customers are all part of the overall vision. The Product Owner is overall responsible for the ‘vision’ of the project and guiding it towards success, with close collaboration with the members of the team.
