Abstract

Project Management using Agile Frameworks

Highlights

According to „The 13th annual State of Agile Report” [3], Scrum is the most popular agile method; daily activities are based on the past experiences and on theoretical aspects
Scrum is the most common agile methodology and it comes with major changes for the company, introducing new rules and terms and eliminating the classical management methods
Kanban comes with more freedom, eliminating the unnecessary processes, but emphasising the fact that only a mature team can be fully capable of accepting the success and the failure with openness

Summary

Scrum Scrum was developed by Ken Schwaben and Jeff

Sutherland in the early ‘90s and is considered to be a framework for developing, delivering and sustaining complex products. Agile teams are small and self-directed, the tasks are distributed taking into consideration the project needs. Scrum Master – can be considered as a team leader, has very good agile skills and is the owner of the agile meetings. [7] Scrum Teams are self-organized and cross-functional being focused on choosing the best way to accomplish the work and having all the needed competences for this. One of them is velocity, which refers to the number of story points that were delivered over a sprint. Another one is the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) which follows the minimum product that meets the client’s expectations. Distributed teams cannot be managed as locals, every team member must permanently see the agile table. Even if using distributed teams is not recommended in agile, 78% for the agile companies admit that they work using such teams. [3]
