Manage Your Testing with SCRUM

Used successfully in hundreds of agile and iterative development projects, SCRUM is a software project management approach that employs fixed cycle time "sprints" and daily "scrums." SCRUM emphasizes self-directing teams and the role of a "Scrum Master" to remove obstacles to the
team’s success. Because testing often succumbs to delivery pressures and becomes chaotic, especially during the endgame of projects, SCRUM can be an extremely helpful management framework for test groups. By implementing SCRUM practices, you increase the focus of test efforts on the most important actions, empower the test team, improve morale, and heighten your influence on the overall success of the project. Learn how Robert Galen instituted SCRUM in
a test department, overlaying this new framework on existing processes with a surprisingly
positive impact on both the people and the product.
