MANAGING PROJECTS IN AGILE WITH SCRUM

Agile is a Project Management Philosophy that is applied in the management of change for an organisation. Agile employs an iterative and incremental approach to all projects that reap rewards with better quality products and a quicker time to market. Agile empowers teams to work in a self-organised way, using all the planning tools that Agile provides.

A Scrum project involves a collaborative effort to create a new product, service, or other result as defined in the Project Vision Statement. Projects are impacted by constraints of time, cost, scope, quality, resources, organisational capabilities, and other limitations that make them difficult to plan, execute, manage, and ultimately succeed. However, successful implementation of the results of a finished project provides significant business benefits to an organisation. It is therefore important for organisations to select and practice an appropriate project management approach.

Created in 1993, Scrum is a mature, yet simple Agile framework for completing complex projects. Originally created for software development projects, Scrum works well for any complex environment, both IT and non-technical. The framework and terminology are simple, focused on managing change, reducing time to market, eliminating waste and delivering what the customer needs.
