What is
the Scrum method?
Scrum is part of Agile project management with a particular focus on flexibility and adjustability. Scrum originated as a project management method used by software teams. Nowadays, however, Scrum can be used for any project in any organisation by any organisational unit, be it Sales, Marketing or Finance!
Large, wide-ranging planning schedules at the beginning of a project are replaced by adjustable plans. An adjustable plan coupled with fast, efficient team communication supports your Scrum team. For projects, key elements include maximum flexibility, dynamism and daily meetings in which all team members align their areas of responsibility.
Daily stand-up meetings and sprint planning
The Daily stand-up meeting takes a maximum of 15 minutes and allows your Scrum team to align tasks and to set a plan for the next 24 hours.
Team members briefly address three questions as input to this planning:
The ultimate goal is to reach the sprint objective that was set. The sprint objective is a concrete project result to be accomplished within a short timeframe, for example 2 weeks. This timeframe is called “the sprint”.
Scrum board
Brown paper or a whiteboard can easily be transformed into your perfect Scrum board. A Scrum board is the ideal project tool for Scrum teams, because it supports the team by visualising the entire process of your Scrum project, allowing you to make complex dependencies visible for all to see. What’s more, dynamic project steps for each team member can be visualised in real time.
There is no standard Scrum board layout. Each board is different. Experiment with a range of layouts to find the board that best supports visualisation for your team. Use feedback from the team and adjust the layout if the one you’ve selected doesn’t work. Products that can support you in this include divider tape (for making columns) and dry-erasable markers (for writing headers).
