SCRUM
~ the most popular agile framework ~
Well it just had to be Scrum! The undisputed leader of the pack, numero uno, top banana, king of the castle, et cetera…
Rightly so too. What could I write about Scrum that has not already been said? Well, in my humble opinion I’ll mention the 5 reasons (of many, many) to help Scrum succeed within your organisation:
1) Have supportive management
2) Have an unflinching Scrum Master
3) Have an ever-present Product Owner
4) Have an engaged & goal focused team
5) Have a fun, creative, happy team and working environment.

~ it’s quote time! ~
“At its root, Scrum is based on a simple idea: whenever you start a project, why not regularly check in, see if what you’re doing is heading in the right direction, and if it’s actually what people want? And question whether there are any ways to improve how you’re doing what you’re doing, any ways of doing it better and faster, and what might be keeping you from doing that.”
