 Scrum is an iterative and incremental Agile software
Development Framework for managing product development.
 Scrum is a management and control process that cuts through
complexity to focus on building software that meets business
needs.
 Scrum adopts an empirical approach—accepting that the
problem cannot be fully understood or defined, focusing
instead on maximizing the team's ability to deliver quickly, to
respond to emerging requirements and to adapt to evolving
technologies and changes in market conditions.

History of Scrum

 Agile is SDLC model, a combination of iterative and
incremental process models with focus on process adaptability
and customer satisfaction by rapid delivery of working
software product.
 In agile the tasks are divided to time boxes (small time frames)
to deliver specific features for a release.
 The most popular agile methods include:
Rational Unified Process (1994), Scrum (1995), Crystal Clear, Extreme
Programming (XP) (1996), Adaptive Software Development(ASD),
Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) (1995)
What is Agile ?

 The Scrum framework consists of Scrum Teams and their
associated roles, events, artifacts, and rules.
 Each component within the framework serves a specific purpose
and is essential to Scrum’s success and usage.
 Sprint
 The heart of Scrum is a Sprint, a time-box of two weeks or one month
during which a potentially releasable product increment is created.
 A new Sprint starts immediately after the conclusion of the previous
Sprint.
 In product development, a sprint is a set period of time during which
specific work has to be completed and made ready for review.
Scrum Framework

Roles
 Product owner
 Scrum Master
 TheTeam
Events
 Sprint planning
 Sprint review
 Sprint retrospective
 Daily scrum meeting
Artifacts
 Product backlog
 Sprint backlog
Scrum Framework

Roles
Product owner
 The product owner defines what to do and in what order to
do it.
 Product owners decide which features and functionality to
build and the order in which to build them.
 The Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value
of the product and the work of theTeam.
Scrum Framework

Roles
ScrumMaster
 ScrumMasters act as coaches and facilitators to Scrum
teams, ensuring that the team and the rest of the
organization obtain optimum results from the Scrum
process.
 The ScrumMaster is the keeper of the scrum process.
He/she is responsible for:
 making the process run smoothly
 removing obstacles that impact productivity
 organizing and facilitating the critical meetings
Scrum Framework

Roles
TheTeam
 The Team is self-organizing and cross-functional. That
means the team comprises of analysts, designers,
developers, testers, etc. as appropriate and as relevant to
the project.
Scrum Framework

Product Backlog
 The Product Backlog lists all
features, functions, requirements,
enhancements, and fixes that
constitute the changes to be made
to the product in future releases.
Scrum Process Framework

Grooming
 Product backlog grooming is made
up of the activities of writing and
refining, estimating, and prioritizing
product backlog items.

Sprint Planning
 During sprint planning, a sprint
backlog is produced to help the
team acquire confidence that it can
deliver the committed product
backlog items.

Sprint Backlog
 A prioritized list of tasks that the
team needs to complete during
the sprint.
 The sprint backlog is a list of
stories the sprint team members
have agreed to complete for a
sprint.

Sprint Execution
 The period of time during which
the development team performs
the tasks necessary to complete
the features selected during sprint
planning.

Daily Scrum
 The Daily Scrum Meeting is a
15-minute meeting for the
Team, conducted daily to
quickly understand the work
since the last Daily Scrum
Meeting and create a plan for
the next 24 hours.

Potentially Shippable Product
 It means completed to a high degree of
confidence and being of such quality that
the work could be shipped to end customers
at the end of a sprint.
 Potentially Shippable = state of confidence.
 Potentially Shippable =Validated learning
 Potentially Shippable ≠ Shipped

Sprint Review
 At the end of a sprint the team
demonstrates the functionality added
during the sprint.
 During the Sprint Review, a presentation
of the increment that is getting released
is reviewed.

Sprint Retrospective
 At the end of each sprint the team
participates in a retrospective meeting to
reflect on the sprint that is ending and
identify opportunities to improve in the
new sprint.
 The scrum master and team members
discuss the work completed and
demonstrate the completed work to the
product owner.

 Commercial software
 In-house development
 Contract development
 Financial applications
 ISO 9001-certified applications
 Embedded systems
Video game development
Applications of Scrum
Websites
 Satellite-control software
 Handheld software
 Mobile phones
 Network switching applications
 ISV applications

Advantages
It provides customer satisfaction by
optimizing turn around time and
responsiveness to requests
Increase the quality
Provide better estimates while
spending less time creating them
Scrum is fast, quick and can adapt
changes easily

Sprint

Advantages/Disadvantages of Scrum
Disadvantages
It’s hard!
Documentation is very less
Team members dedication is very
important
Team work is highly essential
If team members does not
cooperate well, the project will
face failure
Scrum doesn’t fix anything: the
team has to do it
 Bad products will be delivered
sooner, and doomed projects will
fail faster

Agile and Scrum are not the same.
Scrum is advised to teams with experienced team members as the
Framework requires great collaboration and self-organization as
well.
If the Scrum rules are not followed strictly, a project can lead to
failure. Hence, it is necessary to have a proper understanding of
Scrum concepts among the entire team.
Evidence shows that scrum has gained popularity and will continue
in the many years to come.
