Scrum is a powerful framework for implementing agile processes in software development and other projects. This highly adopted framework utilizes short iterations of work, called sprints, and daily meetings, called scrums, to tackle discrete portions of a project in succession until the project is complete. What does a Scrum master do?
Each phase intersects with any of 10 knowledge areas, which include: integration, scope, time, cost, quality, human resources, communication, risk procurement, and stakeholder management.

Almost any IT pro can benefit from adding a project management certification to their list of IT credentials, showing you have the know-how to plan, schedule, budget, execute, deliver, and report on IT initiatives.

A hollowed-out husk of Scrum concealing taskmasters of Waterfall is the Trojan Horse of this betrayal. With Waterfall methods masquerading as Scrum — call it Scrumfall — businesses are reasserting top-down micromanagement, fortifying silos, fettering flexibility, and commoditizing software engineers as mere cogs cranking out code.
In contrast, traditional organisations use a project-based approach to delivery, with temporary teams created on an as-needed basis for a specific purpose with budgets based on up-front funding estimates. If the scope is clear and easy to define up-front, it’s a great way to keep everyone on track and ensure teams are delivering to budget.
