An Introduction to Scrum

Scrum is an Agile process, focused on iterative and incremental development.

Projects have increased in complexity to the point where it no longer makes sense to define all requirements up front. Often, by the time the project is delivered, the requirements have changed. Scrum was designed to solve this dilemma by introducing continual feedback and flexibility into the developmental process. By dedicating resources, collapsing feedback loops, timeboxing activities, and adapting to design changes, Scrum teams deliver the greatest ROI back to the business.

Scrum emphasizes the following ideals:

• Flexibility
• Continual feedback
• Collaboration
• Self-organizing behavior
• Emergent design

The Scrum process may seem simple, which it is; but it’s also an ideal methodology for handling complex projects. Scrum principles are cultivated through the following activities:

• In most cases, team members are dedicated to one Scrum project at a time.
• Development is timeboxed into sprints, which can last from 7 to 30 days each.
• At the end of every sprint, the completed work is presented to stakeholders for feedback, acceptance, or both.
• If feedback is needed sooner, the team will arrange collaboration with the product owner.
• All team members work to achieve the overall goal of the sprint, regardless of specialization.
• The product leads. . . .
