Scrum is ideal for rapidly changing, accumulating requirements.
Benefits to customer and project manager
Scrum is fast, quick and can adapt changes easily
Freezes schedule Short Sprint by short Sprint
Estimates scope Top feature, then next feature
Never changes the schedule, or Sprint
Adjusts the scope if needed to meet release dates
Work estimates are much easier.
Work proceeds and completes more logically. |

Major SCRUM events that contribute to the success
by Meet SCRUM minds, Birmingham, United Kingdom |
 |
|
The main activity in Scrum project management is the Sprint, a time boxed iteration that usually lasts between 1-4 weeks, with the most common sprint length being 2 weeks.
Sprint Planning Meeting: at the start of each sprint a planning meeting is held to discuss the work that is to be done. The product owner and the team meet to discuss the highest-priority items on the product backlog. Team members figure out how many items they can commit to and then create a sprint backlog, which is a list of the tasks to complete during the sprint.
Daily scrum or daily standup: each day during the sprint team members share what they worked on the prior day, will work on today, and identify any impediments. Daily scrums serve to synchronize the work of team members as they discuss the work of the sprint. These meetings are time boxed to no more than 15 minutes.
Sprint Review: at the end of a sprint the team demonstrates the functionality added during the sprint. The goal of this meeting is to get feedback from the product owner and any users or other stakeholders who have been invited to the review.
Sprint Retrospective: at the end of each sprint the team participates in a retrospective meeting to reflect on the sprint that is ending and identify opportunities to improve in the new sprint. |

Artifacts of SCRUM
by Norway SCRUM Agile Group, Norway |
|
|
Scrum Project Management requires very few artifacts, concentrating instead on delivering software that produces business value. The main artifacts in Scrum are:
Product Backlog: this is a complete list of the functionality that remains to be added to the product. The product backlog is prioritized by the product owner so that the team always works on the most valuable features first.
Sprint Backlog: this is a prioritized list of tasks the team needs to complete during the sprint.
Burndown charts: these are used to show the amount of work remaining in a sprint and provide an effective way to determine at a glance whether a sprint is on schedule to have all planned work finished. |
