Each of the Scrum accountabilities participates in one or more adaptations. If you feel that something needs to be adapted to any aspect of your initiative, check who could best start taking action. . ?? Adaptation is making adjustments in order to minimise any deviations to acceptable limits related to agreed goals. .
