Agile Scrum Methodology Process Development Course
Scrum is the most popular agile project management framework because of its simplicity and high performance.
Scrum also takes advantage of a need for a sense of achievement, positive feedback, and ownership of work done within a teamwork environment.
People often think scrum and agile are the same thing because scrum is centered around continuous improvement, which is a core principle of agile. However, scrum is a framework for getting work done, where agile is more of a mindset.
You can’t really “go agile,” as it takes dedication from the whole team to change the way they think about delivering value to an organization’s customers. But you can use a framework like scrum to help you start thinking that way and to practice building agile principles into your everyday communication and work.
Most experts in this field refer to the scrum framework as heuristic. It’s based on continuous learning and adjustment to fluctuating factors. It acknowledges that the team doesn’t know everything at the start of a project and will evolve through experience.
Scrum is structured to help teams naturally adapt to changing conditions and user requirements, with re-prioritization built into the process and short release cycles so your team can constantly learn and improve.
The collective benefits of an agile scrum methodology are substantial, such as:
- Lower costs
- Employee/customer satisfaction
- Organizational synergy
- Quality improvement
- Adaptability and flexibility
Some point to the agile scrum methodology’s flexibility as being its greatest benefit. With the sprint-based model, the scrum team typically receives feedback from stakeholders after each sprint.
If there are any problems or changes, the scrum team can easily and quickly adjust product goals during future sprints to provide more valuable iterations. This way, stakeholders are happier because they get exactly what they want after being involved every step of the way.
With traditional project management systems, on the other hand, stakeholders do not provide frequent feedback and time is wasted making changes to the product halfway through development.
