As with other certifications such as ITIL, PRINCE2 or PMP,
SCRUM can also be described as an additional way in which organizations can
achieve their goal of providing the best services or products to their
customers. A new service which has to be designed or modification of an
existing service can be termed as projects by organizations. But these
so-called projects can become restrained due to shortage of time, resources,
financial cost, and various challenges which can make an organization
vulnerable to improper planning, execution, management and succession of
projects. Organizations have henceforth formulated different methodologies for
proper project management.
As with ITIL, Scrum has become one of the most sought-after methodologies to be implemented for success of a project. One of the advantages of Scrum is that it ensures transparency for communication where the conversation becomes easy for collective accountability and consistent progress.

Here is a video on the advantages of using Scrum:
Every methodology will have a special feature by which the
challenges related to a project can be met. The benefits of Scrum are the usage
of self-empowered, well-organized and across-department teams who can divide a
project into little work cycles known popularly as Sprints.
Similar to the beginning of any project, the Scrum cycle
also begins via a stakeholder meeting in which the details are explained to the
delegate called as “Project Vision.” A Prioritized Product Backlog is then
designed and developed by the Product Owner. The Backlog consists of a list of
project and business requirements according to their priorities in the formula
of user stories.
A Sprint is usually begun with a “Sprint Planning Meeting”
and during the discussion high priority issues and stories will be included in
the sprint. The time-limit of a Sprint will be between one and six weeks and
will involve the Scrum team.
The highlights of the meeting will be the short,
to-the-point stand-up meetings which will be conducted and the SCRUM team will
discuss the daily progress of the project. When the time-limit is concluded, a
Sprint review meeting is conducted and the Product Owner and concerned
stakeholders will be provided updates and demonstrations regarding the
Deliverables. The Product Owner has the option to accept the Deliverables
provided they meet the accepted criteria or reject it if they do not meet the
concerned guidelines.
The conclusion of the Sprint Cycle is the “Retrospect Sprint
Meeting” in which the team suggests ways on improving the processes and their performance
in moving forward into the subsequent Sprint.
Organizations that have used Scrum in their
projects, vouch for its many benefits, some of them, adaptability,
transparency, continuous improvement, motivation, faster problem resolution,
and innovative environment.
