This edition includes an article on an introduction to Scrum and access to 5 practice questions and mini-lessons.

Article 1: An Introduction to Scrum

If you are a project manager and don't know about Scrum, do you have FOMO (fear of missing out)? Fear not, this article will provide a very short introduction to Scrum.

First, let me point out that your projects do not have to be Agile to take advantage of Scrum. Scrum is considered an agile method and it is, in my opinion and experience, the most popular Agile method.

Scrum is not just for Information Technology or software development projects.

Scrum can be used to develop products, generate ideas, speed up change, generate artifacts and documents, and much, much more. I used Scrum to write a book in six weeks.

Scrum is one of the most popular agile frameworks and uses an iterative and incremental approach to developing products.? The following are characteristics of Scrum:

Work is performed in short iterations or sprints. Rather than taking months or years to demonstrate results or outcomes, scrum can generate viable and valuable outcomes in weeks.
Sprints are time-boxed. A timebox is a fixed duration of time. The preference is for shorter sprints of 1 to 4 weeks.
The scrum team is comprised of three roles: The product owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product and is responsible for the product backlog. The development team is responsible for developing and delivering working products. Scrum development teams are cross-functional and self-organizing. The scrum master is responsible for the scrum process and ensuring that the team adheres to the scrum practices.
The product backlog is the ordered list of the work to be performed on the project. The product backlog is owned and managed by the product owner.
The list of work items selected for a sprint is called the sprint backlog.
Sprint planning is conducted before the execution of a sprint. The purpose of this planning is for the product owner and the team to agree on the sprint goal and determine the items to be worked on in the sprint.
A product review is held at the end of a sprint. The team presents the outcomes of the sprint to the product owner for review and feedback.
A retrospective is held at the end of every sprint. The retrospective, typically led by the scrum master, provides the team an opportunity to review performance and make adjustments going forward.

If you think that Scrum is only useful for smaller, low-budget projects, think again. Scrum has been used to build fighter jets and save billions of dollars - check out this article from Scrum Inc.:

Get creative. Consider using Scrum. Not to replace what you're doing but perhaps augment and improve what you're doing.

If you are studying to take the PMP exam, I recommend learning more about Scrum and Agile.

Our PMP prep course incorporates Agile and Scrum training relevant to the PMP credential.
