Saccfug Meeting: SCRUM
Posted by Stephen Weyrick | Tags: project mgmt
Last night at the Sacramento ColdFusion User Group, Seth Duffey presented on the topic of SCRUM. SCRUM is an iterative incremental framework for managing complex work (such as new product development). (Wiki) The presentation he gave was really great, and my place of work has decided to adopt this approach for managing our projects. There are lots of advantages to using SCRUM over traditional methods like the waterfall approach. Some of the advantages include: supporting project change throughout the development life cycle, keeping clients involved in the coarse of the development process so they understand failures and successes, and pointing out team or organizational weak points.
