Scrum Project Management

The book demonstrates how to:

* Combine traditional project management methods with scrum

* Adapt the familiar work breakdown structure to create scrum backlogs and sprints

* Use a "scrum of scrums" to manage programs

* Apply earned value management, critical path, and PERT in the context of scrum

Having successfully deployed and implemented scrum across multiple companies and departments, the authors provide valuable insight into how they achieved their past successes and how they overcame the trials involved with the deployment of a scrum environment. Throughout the text they discuss improvisation, creative problem solving, and emergent phenomena—detailing the methods needed to ensure your team achieves project success.
