SCRUM
An iterative and incremental agile framework for managing complex projects.
WHAT IS SCRUM?
Scrum is the most popular Agile framework. It is an adaptive, iterative, fast, flexible, and effective methodology designed to deliver significant value quickly and throughout a project.
Scrum ensures transparency in communication and creates an environment of collective accountability and continuous progress, and is structured to support product and service development in all types of industries and in any type of project, irrespective of its complexity.
A Scrum project involves a collaborative effort to create a new product, service, or other result as defined in the Project Vision Statement.
The focus of Scrum on value driven delivery helps Scrum Teams deliver results as early in the project as possible.
WHY USE SCRUM?
Some of the key benefits of using Scrum in any project are:
Adaptability
Empirical process control and iterative delivery make projects adaptable and open to incorporating change.
Transparency
All information radiators like a
Scrumboard and Sprint Burndown Chart are shared, leading to an open work environment.
Continuous Feedback
Continuous feedback is provided through the Conduct Daily Standup, and Demonstrate and Validate Sprint processes.
Continuous Improvement
The deliverables are improved
progressively Sprint by Sprint, through the Groom Prioritized Product Backlog process.
Faster Problem Resolution
Due to collaboration of cross functional teams.
Efficient Development Process

Sustainable Pace

WHO IS USING SCRUM?
The Google AdWords team uses Scrum to develop innovative features at a rapid rate.
Scrum has come a long way since its inception in the mid 80’s. In the present day, Scrum is one of the most widely applied project management frameworks globally. Also, the widespread increase in the demand for certified Scrum Masters and Scrum Experts is a testimony to the fact that Scrum will expand its domain in the years to come.
The prevalent misconception is that Scrum is suitable for and used by only the Information Technology sector to develop software and product applications and services. Nonetheless, surveys done over the past decade have revealed that Scrum is, no doubt, applied most in managing software development projects; however, it is equally suitable for and successful in fields such as Finance, healthcare, Automotive, and Construction.
