XP @ Scrum:
Scrum has been employed successfully as a management wrapper for Extreme Programming engineering practices. Scrum provides the agile management mechanisms; Extreme Programming provides the integrated engineering practices.
Benefits of XP @ Scrum include:
- The agile management and control mechanisms of Scrum are applicable for any type of project, including business initiatives that consist of multiple, simultaneous software development, business development, re-engineering, marketing, support, and implementation projects. xp@Scrum projects fit within the overall management framework of these initiatives.
- xP@Scrum projects realize the full benefits of self-organization; teams are iteration (or Sprint) goal directed, rather than story directed.
- When Extreme Programming projects are wrapped by Scrum, they becomes scalable and can be run simultaneously by non-colocated teams.
- Scrum implements in a day; Extreme Programming can be gradually implemented within the Scrum framework.
- xp@Scrum projects benefit from ADM's business value metrics process for measuring and managing initiative ROI.
