others do it. Through this work, we have come to value the following:"
People Although processes and tools help in successfully completing a project, it is
_________ who undertake, participate in, and implement a project. The key actors

Scrum is one of the Agile frameworks for Project Value and Time
Management. It employs an adaptive an iterative approach
for managing projects and product development. It was
formulated as a faster, more flexible way to deliver the
greatest ______ in the least amount of ______.
Empirical Process Control Scrum prescribes making decisions based on observation and experimentation
rather than detailed upfront planning.
Self-Organization As opposed to the traditional command and control style of management, Scrum
teaches that today's workers have much more knowledge to offer than just their
technical expertise, and that they deliver greater value when self-organized.
Collaboration Scrum teaches that product development is a shared value-creation process that
needs all the stakeholders working and interacting together to deliver the greatest
value.
Value-based Prioritization Delivering the greatest value in the shortest amount of time requires prioritization
and dividing what will be done from what needs to be done.
Time-Boxing Time is treated as a limiting constraint, and this principle is used as the rhythm to
which all stakeholders work and contribute.
Iterative Development In most complex projects - in which the customer may not be able to define very
concrete requirements or is not confident of what the end product may look like - the
iterative model is more flexible in ensuring that any change requested by the
customer can be included as part of the project.

high risk.

Scrum Advantages -Adaptability
-Transparency
-Continuous Feedback
-Continuous Improvement
-Continuous Delivery of Value
-Sustainable Pace
-Early Delivery of High Value
-Efficient Development Process
-Motivation
-Faster Problem Resolution
-Effective Deliverables
-Customer Center
-High Trust Environment
-Collective Ownership
-High Velocity
-Innovative Environment
Adaptability Empirical process control and iterative delivery make projects adaptable and open
to incorporating change.
Transparency All information indicators such as a Scrumboard and Sprint Burndown Chart are
shared, leading to an open work environment.
Continuous Feedback This is provided through the Conduct Daily Standup and Demonstrate and Validate
Sprint processes.
Continuous Improvement The deliverables are improved progressively Sprint by Sprint thought the Groom
Prioritized Product Backlog process.
Continuous Delivery of Value Iterative processes enable the continuous delivery of value through the Ship
Deliverables process as frequently as the customer requires.
Sustainable Pace Scrum processes are designed such that the people involved work at a pace that
they can continue indefinitely.
