Scrum is an
iterative and incremental agile software development framework for managing
product development. Like other agile
development methods, it embraces an adaptive and iterative approach. Scrum
embraces change and has an empirical approach – accepting that not everything
can be defined up front.
Many make
the assumption that the attributes of Scrum are incompatible with PRINCE2.
Those who are not deep into PRINCE2 can be lead to believe that PRINCE2
requires a waterfall approach and that PRINCE2 is a method resisting change to scope. This is
not correct. PRINCE2 and Scrum are fully compatible, and this is why:
PRINCE2 is
a project management method whereas Scrum is a development method used by development
teams. PRINCE2 says nothing about delivery methods. PRINCE2 has its strength at
a higher abstraction level in the project: preparing start-up, focusing on
governance and securing alignment between stakeholders. Scrum has its strength
at the team level where development has to be done.
The major
portion of the Scrum process happens within the PRINCE2 "Managing Product
Delivery". A PRINCE2 stage can be one or several sprints where the stage's
time tolerance is zero and tolerance is given on scope. PRINCE2 offers great
control at the project level. Scrum and Agile brings freedom and “agility” at
the team level
December
2014 Axelos announced that a PRINCE2 Agile best practice guidance will be
released in 2015. While waitning, you can have a look at the PRINCE2, SCRUM and Agile page for more details.
