When we do, we find some remarkable facts. Agile isn’t just one more approach to creative thinking or iterative prototyping. Rather, it’s a well-developed holistic system engineered to overcome more than a dozen common barriers to successful innovation. It’s also highly effective. In tens of thousands of software development projects, Agile methods have boosted average success rates to 39% from 11%, a more than threefold improvement. In large, complex projects Agile’s success rate jumps to six times that of conventional methods.

What is Scrum?

If you are just getting started, think of Scrum as a way to get work done as a team in small pieces at a time, with continuous experimentation and feedback loops along the way to learn and improve as you go. Scrum helps people and teams deliver value incrementally in a collaborative way. As an agile framework, Scrum provides just enough structure for people and teams to integrate into how they work, while adding the right practices to optimize for their specific needs. You may be thinking, that sounds great! But, how do I get started?
