Overview:
Scrum is a software development methodology based on Agile principles. Agile methodologies promote a project management process that encourages frequent inspection and adaptation, a leadership philosophy using teamwork, self-organization and accountability, with strong customer involvement.

Teams can adopt Scrum quickly to plan and manage their work, however, without careful thought and implementation a Scrum team can:
  • Lose sight of the product vision.
  • Waste time in sprints because the backlog is too ambiguous.
  • Not gain the benefit of a collaborative, self-managed team because no one has team facilitation skills.
  • Get swamped by email and surprises because risks and external dependencies are not assessed or managed.

  • Quick review of Scrum/Agile
  • Backlog, user stories, details and grooming
    • Do you have a great product? Causes?
