1) The main parts of the Scrum Project that are helpful in
traditional Project Management are:
- Quick delivery of product = The Scrum adopts
practical approach in product development accepting that its
difficult to undersatnd all the requirements from customer in the
beginning. Thus, quick product delivery can help to adjust and
accomodate the changes
- Daily Scrum Meeting = It call for daily short
meeting of the team to discuss the actions completed till yesterday
and plans for today. This ensures that everyone is aware and
updated
- Working in a team = It calls for cross
functional team formation and working together rather in a Silos.
So, it helps in better collaboration
- Holistic development = Scrum follow holistic
approach to product developement and all processes go in parallel
in contrary to sequential approach in traditional project
management
Advantages:
- It will help in providing flexibility in project
management
- It encourages team work
- Helps to bind the group together
- It enhance morale & motivation of people
- The changes can be easily adjusted
- Higher level of customer satisfaction
2) Cultural characteristics needing change to implement
Scrum:
- Openness = In my organization, the project
team involved in different phases work in isolation. It is very
important to bring in openness and transparency in system
- Commitment = The entire team should have
commitment to complete the project on time.
- Flexibility = In current approach, it becomes
difficult to adopt the changes in project requirement. Thus, to
make a flexible system, it is very important to make people realize
that changes will happen frequently
- Stretched goals = In order to cut short the
project deliverable timeline, the goals must be stretched and
strictly adhered to in order to timely complete
- Morale building of team is also very important
to help them adjust and accept the frequent changes in
project.
Good Luck and God Bless :)
