Process Methodology

Scrum focuses on the management aspects of software development, dividing development into sprints and applying closer monitoring and management with daily scrum meetings. It enables the creation of self-organizing teams by encouraging verbal communication across all team members and across all disciplines that are involved in the project. It places much less emphasis on engineering practices and many people combine its project management approach with extreme programming's engineering practices.

Scrum is portrayed by:

• Scrum increases productivity and reduces the time to revenue.
• A succinct forecasting session in which the logjam items for the sprint will be defined.
• Completion of a largely fixed set of logjam items in a series of short iterations or sprints.
• A brief daily meeting (called a scrum), at which progress is explained, upcoming work is scheduled, and obstacles are raised.
• A brief heartbeat retrospective, at which all team members reflect about the past sprint

A key principle of scrum is its recognition that fundamentally empirical challenges cannot be addressed successfully in a traditional "process control" manner. As such, scrum adopts an empirical approach - accepting that the problem cannot be fully understood or defined, focusing instead on maximizing the team's ability to respond in an agile manner to emerging challenges. Scrum is a way for team to feel good about their job, their contributions, and that they have done.

Scrum plays an essential role in client satisfaction by involving client in the scrum review meetings, and this help the client to have a design map on building software.
