Scrum advantages
As with any form of methodology, there are always positive and negative aspects of assigning a task or project to a set workflow. The specific nature of scrum template differs from more conventional development methodologies, as the latter are only designed to take into account and foresee unpredictability of the external and development environments at the start of the enhancement cycle.
There are also more innovative approaches to methodology, such as the spiral Boehm model, but its variants are still restricted as they are quite inflexible in their ability to respond to changing requirements once a project has commenced.
One of the key benefits of the scrum model is its flexibility and adaptiveness as work requirements change. It provides control mechanisms for the planning of a product release, and then managing variables as the project is carried out. It means that the project can be altered and modified depending on changing needs, and in the end manages to establish and deliver the most appropriate release, emerging from the ability to adjust work to changing expectations once the project is underway.
Because the scrum process also provides much room for individual work and contribution, developers are free to devise ideas and solutions. Usually these ideas are pioneering and innovative as the team relies on the best possible formula for the completion of their work, in order to finish the project as appropriately, and as efficiently as possible. The scrum model employs expert individuals to work essentially unsupervised within their own divisions. The influence of professionals also demonstrates tactic knowledge in the development process, and therefore innovative work schemes can be less perilous, thanks to previous experience of the team members.
Another positive aspect of the scrum model is the Object Oriented approach to methodology, suggesting a discrete, reliable and manageable environment. The scrum model is a highly adaptive and flexible form of project management, and procedural code does not apply to scrum project management because of this. Set strategies and intertwined interfaces conflict with the nature of the scrum model. Increased control over the variables that make it so unique would interfere with the purpose of the model.
Overall, the lack of external policy and procedure is what makes scrum a useful and unprecedented approach to project management and effective workflow. It ensures work efficiency and is strongly based on the experience and reliability of the people evolved – providing not only a stronger drive and increased self-efficacy in team members, but also room for the improvement on ones work ethic and innovation. It derives its basis from personal experience and strives towards future improvement of the way in which projects are managed. Through this process, scrum methodology may within itself develop procedural systems, although these tend to remain subjective and only reliable in similar project circumstances, involving homogenous conditions.
Even if assigned as a procedural system, the scrum model continues to provide a clean interface and is strongly based on data orientation – as opposed to hindering any methodological developments that may emerge during successive projects.
