Scrum

In Scrum, the events are divided into time boxed iterations called sprints which means once such sprint begins, the product should be delivered within the time frame allocated. Scrum adopts adaptive approach to face unpredictable changes in requirements also known as requirement volatility. It focuses on maximizing team’s ability to deliver product in time, response quickly to changes in requirements and adapt to the changes and need in the market. A sprint is the smallest fragment of scrum with teams working on some assigned tasks. It usually lasts for 1 to 4 weeks depending on the project complexities. The tasks are divided by sprint backlogs. Scrum framework comprises of scrum teams and their roles, artifacts and ceremonies. Scrum…

It’s a time boxed, iterative approach to software delivery that builds software incrementally and iteratively. There are many ways of following an agile approach such as Lean, and Extreme Programming but we have opted to utilise the scrum approach. 3.3 Scrum The Scrum Guide tells us that “Scrum is a framework for developing and sustaining complex products.” [41] It’s lightweight, simple to understand but difficult to master. Scrum traditionally involves a Scrum Team which consists of a Product…

following a rigid model where the plans are set and then followed throughout the development process. What is Scrum in relation to Agile? Basically Scrum is a type of Agile used for software development. Scrum can be seen as a type of cross-functioning group that bounces workloads back and forth in order to complete the project in the allocated period of time. Whereas then you have Agile which is about delivering value in a short period of time, encouraging talent, teamwork, leadership and…

Assignment 3 What is SCRUM? SCRUM is the agile framework that helps team to deliver customer value early and often in high predictable manner. It is first published by Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland. Main characteristics of SCRUM: The main characteristics of SCRUM are as follows: • SCRUM process is iterative (that means the projects is done in successive cycles called as sprints) and incremental (the functionality of the product increase during each iteration by adding new functions). • In…

2010). Rubin (2011) describes scrum as an agile approach used for developing new software products and services. Cardozo et al. (2010) feather explains scrum as an agile method based on flexibility, adaptability and productivity, it’s a project management method that allows an organization to monitor, track and give guidance to real-time problems that arise during development. It is a framework that an organization uses to service various techniques to achieve project success. (Schwaber &…

Scrum is the main way of project management in Agile. It means that most of the Agile projects are run in a Scrum manner. Agile project management with Scrum has several main principles. Independence of the Scrum team is the first and the main principle of its work. It means that the team of Scrum developers has no strict limits to work within. In the traditional approach to software development, the team is usually provided with complete and detailed instructions on the future project. At…

Agilex won this contract due to a competitive advantage based on differentiation and low cost measures. According to Porter (1985) there are two basic competitive advantages that companies can possess, low cost or differentiation. Cost focus exploits differences in cost behavior in some segments, while differentiation focus exploits the special needs of buyers in certain segments. Agilex had a competitive advantage from both, low cost strategy and from differentiation by providing the customer…

Task 1 In this assignment for project management I am going to choose the Agile Scrum methodology to use as the main body and examples. Agile Scrum is commonly known as it has its famous 12 principles that achieve a good success in project management. These principles I will describe below in a short description. This will hopefully illustrate whoever reading this a short understanding as I will progress to then explain why, Agile, is used to secure many great benefits to project management. 12…

The scrum framework is created Jeff Sutherland and Ken Schwaber in the year 1993.The word ‘Scrum’ has been derived from a paper titled “The New Product Development Game” written by the thinkers Takeuchi and Nonaka.Scrum is often compared to the team of rugby due to the analogies of small teams working for a single objective. Scrum is one of the most popular agile development methodologies and one of the easiest transitions from the waterfall approach, since it’s typically requirements-driven…

Agile development: Scrum Methodology Introduction: Today a major challenge that is being faced by the Software Industries is their wiliness to choose and implement the current trending agile methodologies and how the framework can be implemented and make it running. When compared to the traditional approach of the Water fall model, where development is handled as a linear series of event from conception to production, I would recommend Scrum as its approach is granular and phase wise. The term…
