The Scrum Method: A Brief Introduction

In 1995, the Scrum Method was first introduced at a conference. Basically, the Scrum method provides a framework in which companies significantly increase their efficiency through the clear definition of work roles, flexibility and so-called sprints. The goal is to divide a project into small stages that are worked through with flexibility and innovative solution approaches. A central role is played by a "Scrum Master", who acts as a moderator and keeps a team on track by ensuring that set goals are met.

Important concepts of the Scrum method

For the effective application of the Scrum method, several principles should be considered:

• Transparency: Decisions and goals should be accessible to all participants of a project.
• Focus: concentration on tasks to be completed through a consistent way of working.
• Independence: A Scrum team should always work self-determined and with initiative.
• Werte: Grundlage für die Messung der Teamleistung sind immer die erzielten Mehrwerte für Kunden.
• Prozesse: Die Scrum Methode ist nicht verhandelbar und sorgt so für klare Vorgaben und Stabilität im Team.
