The scrum framework was first coined in the 1980s and was developed to create a more streamlined approach for software development projects. The idea behind the scrum approach was to create a systematic framework that could help break down project requirements into smaller parts. These parts would then be assigned to teams who would complete them in “sprints”, a cycle of 1 to 4 weeks. When combined, these parts would form the finished product. Due to its structured approach, collaboration focus and adaptability the scrum framework became so popular that it would later be adopted across industries for agile project management. A report highlighted that teams using scrum experience a productivity boost of up to 30%. This is largely due to the framework’s focus on continuous improvement and stakeholder feedback which minimises time spent on non-essential tasks. The scrum framework has been adopted in automotive, manufacturing, software development and even marketing industries and has helped organisations adopt a more agile model for executing projects and achieving innovation. And that is exactly what this course will help you to do!
