What is SCRUM?
SCRUM is a framework and set of practices used to deploy the agile philosophy in project management. It is mainly used in software development, although it can to some extend also be used in product/service development projects in general. In these environments, it can provide a valuable alternative for the “waterfall” project management methodology.
The SCRUM methodology emphasizes daily communication, self-steering development teams, flexible reassessment of plans and development carried out in short iterative phases of work.
Why would you use SCRUM?
We’ve all experienced projects that, despite our best efforts, delivered late, weren’t up to our quality standards, and didn’t quite meet our customer’s needs. The aspiration of Scrum is to delight customers and delivering fast results at reduced costs.
