How Scrum and Project Management Work Together
Scrum and project management methodologies often are considered polar opposites, yet they reinforce one another nicely when combined. Here's how integrating Scrum with project management can boost the success rate of your projects.
1. Understanding Scrum
Scrum is an Agile framework for iterative and incremental progress that enforces flexibility, collaboration, and customer feedback. Core elements include sprints, Scrum roles-product owner, Scrum master, and development team-and events that happen regularly: Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective.
2. Fundamentals of Project Management
Traditional project management is reliant on the actual planning, execution, and closure of projects by means of structured methodologies, including Waterfall. The approach focuses on detailed upfront planning in terms of scope and risk management. It includes milestones, timelines, and the allotment of resources.
3. Integrating Scrum into Project Management
Scrum is integrated with traditional project management for realizing the following benefits:
Agility: Scrum allows iterative review and improvement, which is not achievable with traditional planning.
Improved collaboration: scrum provides day-to-day communication and collaboration with the team, which may improve stakeholders' engagement in the project and alignment.
Adaptive Planning: Traditional project management relies on detailed upfront planning, but Scrum allows ongoing adjustments based on feedback and changing requirements for more accurate and relevant outcomes.
