| Description: | Overview: Scrum is a software development methodology based on Agile principles. Agile methodologies promote a project management process that encourages frequent inspection and adaptation, a leadership philosophy using teamwork, self-organization and accountability, with strong customer involvement. Teams can adopt Scrum quickly to plan and manage their work, however, without careful thought and implementation a Scrum team can: Lose sight of the product vision. Waste time in sprints because the backlog is too ambiguous. Not gain the benefit of a collaborative, self-managed team because no one has team facilitation skills. Get swamped by email and surprises because risks and external dependencies are not assessed or managed.
