How to Get Started with Scrum in my Company? Scott Dunn, CEO of Rocket Nine Solutions answers this question from a passionate agile with Scrum methodology perspective.
How to Get Started with Scrum in my Company?
For smaller companies pick a pilot project. Make sure the company understands the rules of Scrum. Get training for:
- ScrumMaster
- Product Owner
- The Whole Team
Training is important for baselining everyone’s understanding of how to work in an agile environment using Scrum methodology. (Check out our Intro to Scrum and Agile online course)
If you are trying to use Scrum at a larger company with 5, 10, or more teams, the Scaled Agile Framework can help with coordinating larger Scrum adoptions. Management usually wants to know where existing roles will plug into an agile methodology. We start with management training, including HR as well as upper and middle management so they understand their role in supporting an agile transformation.
