Scrum
why Scrum?
- Fast, flexible, adaptive, iterative and effective, scrum is one of the most popular agile methodologies designed to deliver significant value quickly and throughout a project. Scrum ensures transparency in communication, creating an environment of collective accountability and continuous progress. The Scrum framework, as defined in the SBOK™ Guide, is structured to support product and service development in all types of industries and in any type of project, irrespective of its complexity.
- Key strengths of Scrum lies in its use of cross-functional, self-organized, and empowered teams who divide their work into short, concentrated work cycles called Sprints.
- Scrum can significantly increases ROI on projects through early Value-driven Delivery of results; providing opportunity for reinvestment and proving the worth of the project to interested stakeholders.

Scrum principles
Scrum principles are the core guidelines for applying the Scrum framework and should mandatorily be used in all Scrum projects. They are non-negotiable and must be applied as specified in the SBOK® guide. Keeping the principles intact and using them appropriately instills confidence in the Scrum framework with regard to attaining the objectives of the project.
Scrum aspects
There are five Scrum aspects: Organisation, business justification, quality, change and risk.
