Overview
Scrum methodology belongs to the group of agile frameworks which appeared as a direct response to the traditional waterfall paradigm of project/product management, teamwork and engineering. Unlike waterfall development, Scrum uses the real-world progress of a project to plan and schedule releases; thereby, it reduces development costs and time to market.
Scrum is the right option for the management of complex projects in which rapid results are necessary and innovation, competitiveness, flexibility and productivity are fundamental issues.
Scrum is particularly useful in the following situations:
- Client does not receive expected deliverables
- Delivery time becomes excessively long
- Costs are not met
- Product quality is unacceptable.
- Reactivity decreases
- Team motivation is low
- Identifying systematical lack of efficiency
- Resolving systematical lack of efficiency
- Creating a specialized process for product development.
Scrum is a framework of results which has been tested in thousands of projects both large and small such as:
Amazon, Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, SAP, Adobe, Citrix, IBM, Intel, BBC, DoubleYou, British Telecom, Motorola, Nokia, TeleAtlas, Telefonica I+D, Bank of America, Barclays Global Investors, Key Bank, Merrill Lynch, Philips Medical, Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Blizzard, High Moon Studios, Crytek, Ubisoft, 3M, Bose, GE …
