Scrum is the most popular Agile framework
and is used for successful delivery of projects.
Some of the key benefits of using Scrum in
any project are:
1.

iterative delivery make projects adaptable and open to incorporating change.
2.
Transparency—All information radiators like
a Scrumboard and Sprint Burndown Chart are shared, leading to an open work
environment.
3.
Continuous Feedback—Continuous feedback is
provided through the Conduct Daily Standup, and Demonstrate and Validate Sprint processes.
4. Continuous Improvement—The
deliverables are improved progressively Sprint by Sprint, through the Groom Prioritized Product Backlog process.
5.
Continuous Delivery of Value—Iterative processes
enable the continuous delivery of value through the Ship Deliverables process
as frequently as the customer requires.
6.
Sustainable Pace—Scrum processes are designed
such that the people involved can work at a sustainable pace that they can, in
theory, continue indefinitely.
7.

first.

minimizing non-essential work leads to higher efficiency levels.
