SCRUM - A Project Management Framework
SCRUM - A framework for managing projects in an agile way.
Abstract
In a ever-changing world that is getting more and more complex, the art of project management is becoming harder to control due to uncertainty and the speed in which requirements and demand change. Standard ways of planning a project, such as the Waterfall model may not be applicable today. To accommodate this issue, SCRUM can be used because it embraces agility and a fast pace. SCRUM is an adaptive project management framework that relates to the project and development life cycles in the PMI standard[1]. Even though SCRUM is applicable for both project, program and portfolio management, this article will focus solely on SCRUM as a project management framework and the implementation of SCRUM.
The SCRUM framework was developed in the early 1990's by Ken Schwaber & Jeff Sutherland and is a framework based on empiricism and lean thinking and has its roots in software development[2]. Today, SCRUM is one of the most popular ways of becoming Agile and widely used for various projects. Benefits of utilizing the SCRUM Framework to structure the development life cycles are continuous improvements, transparency, early adoption, embracing change, which is a great advantage compared to the classic Waterfall model.[3]. The SCRUM Framework creates value in an adaptive and way through the SCRUM values, roles, events and artifacts.[2]
