SCRUM BADGE

What is SCRUM?

SCRUM is a simple project management framework which enables you to closely align your software development efforts with your company’s evolving priorities.

SCRUM is part of the Agile software movement which promotes light and appropriate software development methods.

Agile Manifesto

We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this we we have come to value:

·         Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

·         Working software over comprehensive documentation

·         Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

·         Responding to change over following a plan

That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

Why use SCRUM?

SCRUM increases productivity by bringing rigor, accountability and business alignment to your software development effort.

The SCRUM framework also reduces risk and builds a more transparent and trusting relationship between software development team and client.

The system of sprints encourages regular feedback, as each sprint is followed by a review. These reviews provide opportunities for the entire team to reflect on the previous sprint and discuss improvements for the next.

Also, by defining roles for team members it promotes collaboration as well as clear and open lines of communication between the developers, the client and the other stakeholders.

Finally, SCRUM provides a framework for work estimation, where features are estimated in units of points where each point represents a relative amount of effort required.  This technique is flexible enough to allow for changes in requirements as well as changes in the development team’s velocity.
