When I first began learning about project management, I thought I must have surely come across a typo when I read the term "scrum." Certainly, I felt confident, that no such term could exist in such a professional field. After all, "Scrum?" It's strange, to say the least.
I've since learned that I was wrong - dead wrong. (Wrong about the existence of the methodology, but I still maintain that it's a strange word.)
As Misty Faucheux explains in her Bright Hub article, "Scrum Methodology: Coordinating Teams to Produce Quality Products,"
"Scrum Methodology can effectively increase the efficiency of and communication between teams to produce a quality, on-time product."
Increase efficiency and communication? You can't find a project manager that won't perk up when they hear that prospect.
Take a cue from software project managers, read Misty's article on implementing Scrum in your projects and let's take Scrum to the next level.
I wonder what strange project management term I'll come across next.
