Overcoming team challenges in project management: The scrum framework

Abstract

This paper delves into how teams in organizations can achieve success in project management. We compare the traditional Waterfall approach used by teams in project management to the Agile framework and provide data supporting the success rates of the different approaches to project management. Based on the data supporting the success of Scrum (an Agile framework), we explain what Scrum is and how it works. We discuss the modern complexities that management and leadership are challenged with when it comes to the execution of their projects and how the application of Scrum provides relevant, practical, sustainable, and valuable solutions. We also discuss common stressors that teams encounter and how the application of Scrum provides coping strategies for teams.
