Scrum’s ability of delivering working software more quickly than traditional methodologies is one of its most significant benefits. This is partly because it encourages close collaboration with stakeholders, as well as the autonomy of teams, and creates an environment of continuous improvement in the development environment. However, a range of other factors contribute to the greater effectiveness of Scrum projects too as the ability to release frequently and the emphasis on brief, concise time-boxed sprints that focus on the top customer requirements.
The use of sprints also allows for regular inspection of the product. This allows customers and stakeholders the opportunity to monitor the development of the software, and to determine whether it can meet their changing requirements earlier and more quickly than they would with an e-wastewater project. TurboTax for instance, is an excellent example of this rather than attempting to create software for all federal and state income tax at once the company focused on creating software only for a handful of states or one state each sprint. This made it possible to release the software faster and earn more ROI than a traditional waterfall project.
Furthermore, Scrum provides high visibility into a project’s state on every day basis, which stakeholders from outside and executives at the top can easily access through tools such as Workamajig. This transparency can help avoid costly mistakes, by providing an accurate picture of the project’s current status and what is required to keep it on track.
