The Scrum emphasizes a shift in mindset from traditional project management approaches. Instead of focusing solely on scope, Scrum aims to deliver maximum business value. While traditional methods alter cost and schedule to achieve scope, Scrum allows quality and constraints to be adjusted to achieve the primary objective of maximum business value.
In today's market, where unpredictability and volatility are common, Scrum has become more successful than traditional methods. Scrum relies on inspect-adapt cycles, rather than the command and control structures of the Waterfall method.
Scrum #projects are completed iteratively, with cross-functional teams working in parallel to deliver potentially shippable solutions at the end of each sprint. Because each iteration results in a shippable solution, the team has a measurable objective to accomplish, ensuring progress and timely completion. Traditional methods lack such timely checks, which can result in the team falling behind schedule and facing a lot of work toward the end.
Scrum's regular customer interaction and review process ensure that the work completed aligns with customer specifications. However, in Waterfall, there is no such interaction as work is carried out in silos, and there is no presentable functionality until the end of the project.
In complex projects where functionality requirements keep changing, the iterative model is more flexible and accommodating. However, when completing simple projects with well-defined functionalities and previous experience, Waterfall can be successful.
