Scrum Dosed by Swapna K M – M & E Team (from MphasiS Software Services) What is a Scrum? Scrum is an iterative, incremental process for developing any product or managing any work. It produces a potentially shippable set of functionality at the end of every iteration.
What is its usefulness? 1. Productivity increases: • Some Scrum teams have recorded a 4x increase in productivity • Most improve productivity by 10-20% depending on management commitment 2. Continuous improvement: • Scrum enables continuous, rapid, bottom-up reengineering 3. Leverages the chaos • The product becomes a series of manageable chunks • Progress is made, even when requirements are not stable • Everything is visible to everyone • Team communication improves • The team shares successes along the way and at the end • Customers see on-time delivery of increments • Customers obtain frequent feedback on how the product actually works • A relationship with the customer develops, trust builds, and knowledge grows • A culture is created where everyone expects the project to succeed Scrum Process: The Scrum process has five phases: Planning, System Architecture / High Level Design, Sprint, Sprint Review and Closure.
