In addition, the customer&#8217;s opinion is the most important asset: customers are already involved during the project process. They get a transparent and continuous insight into all processes, this way, a constant feedback loop is possible. This enables the team to respond dynamically to potential changes during the project and to fulfil all wishes to their full satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"1468\">In order to achieve initial project results as quickly as possible, the work is structured in sprints. These are short, iterative development cycles that can last from about a week to a month.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"The-Agile-Manifesto:-principles-of-Agile-Project-Management\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"1662\"><strong data-renderer-mark=\"true\">The Agile Manifesto: principles of Agile <span id=\"c3f65f9b-87f2-43af-abf5-026088d0956d\" data-renderer-mark=\"true\" data-mark-type=\"annotation\" data-mark-annotation-type=\"inlineComment\" data-id=\"c3f65f9b-87f2-43af-abf5-026088d0956d\">Project Management<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"1723\">In 2001, software development professionals described in the<a class=\"sc-gGBfsJ ezSIMS\" title=\"https:\/\/agilemanifesto.org\/iso\/en\/manifesto.html\" href=\"https:\/\/agilemanifesto.org\/iso\/en\/manifesto.html\" data-renderer-mark=\"true\"> Agile Manifesto<\/a> what they see as the framework of an agile way of working. 17 people who are highly respected in the Agile community signed their manifesto, which still forms the basis for Agile <span id=\"3b9e04e0-dfd7-4e4f-a8d5-80d52a97c93a\" data-renderer-mark=\"true\" data-mark-type=\"annotation\" data-mark-annotation-type=\"inlineComment\" data-id=\"3b9e04e0-dfd7-4e4f-a8d5-80d52a97c93a\">Project Management<\/span> today.<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"2006\">To better understand Agile working, it is worth taking a look at the Agile value<span id=\"970b3fda-566a-412f-9d23-36c83a8b099d\" data-renderer-mark=\"true\" data-mark-type=\"annotation\" data-mark-annotation-type=\"inlineComment\" data-id=\"970b3fda-566a-412f-9d23-36c83a8b099d\">s described below.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"The-Agile-Core-Values\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"2106\">The Agile Core Values<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"ak-ul\" data-indent-level=\"1\">\n<li>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"2131\">Teamwor<span id=\"df10a1c1-f654-40d2-8eb0-b3197b2e2ee0\" data-renderer-mark=\"true\" data-mark-type=\"annotation\" data-mark-annotation-type=\"inlineComment\" data-id=\"df10a1c1-f654-40d2-8eb0-b3197b2e2ee0\">k: Individ<\/span>uals and interactions are valued more than tools or processes.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ak-ul\" data-indent-level=\"2\">\n<li>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"2214\">Appreciation and encouragement of an individual facilitate daily work, increase self-responsibility and self-organisation of the team.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"2354\">Pragmatism: Functioning software is more important than comprehensive documentation.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ak-ul\" data-indent-level=\"2\">\n<li>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"2442\">This does not mean that no value is placed on transparent documentation.

The framework works ideally for companies with simple organisational structures.<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"3777\">The word &#8220;Scrum&#8221; is, contrary to many expectations, not an acronym, but comes from rugby. It describes the situation when several players gather around the ball. This image <span id=\"3948e34d-b442-4eea-9871-47b08f7c7ce4\" data-renderer-mark=\"true\" data-mark-type=\"annotation\" data-mark-annotation-type=\"inlineComment\" data-id=\"3948e34d-b442-4eea-9871-47b08f7c7ce4\">fits the vision<\/span> that individuals on their own cannot achieve excellent results in the modern, dynamic software world. Only as a team &#8211; when the ball is often passed back and forth &#8211; can we react dynamically to what is happening.<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"4180\">According to a <a class=\"sc-gGBfsJ ezSIMS\" title=\"https:\/\/www.hs-koblenz.de\/en\/bpm-labor\/status-quo-scaled-agile-2020\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hs-koblenz.de\/en\/bpm-labor\/status-quo-scaled-agile-2020\" data-renderer-mark=\"true\">study from 2020,<\/a> which included the Koblenz University of Applied Sciences, it <span id=\"9adde815-c18f-494e-abf7-a0c091621c67\" data-renderer-mark=\"true\" data-mark-type=\"annotation\" data-mark-annotation-type=\"inlineComment\" data-id=\"9adde815-c18f-494e-abf7-a0c091621c67\">was found <\/span>that 85% of all participants in the survey use Scrum as an agile method. This clearly shows the popularity of the Scrum framework, which is used to perfect productivity and flexibility in smaller teams.<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"4488\">In line with the agile approach, Scrum teams work completely self-organised in sprints. In these, partial solutions are developed with close customer involvement.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"The-Scrum-Roles\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"4652\">The Scrum Roles<\/h3>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"4669\">Flat hierarchies help to simplify the project process, yet there are three Scrum roles that help immensely in organising the Scrum team.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ak-ul\" data-indent-level=\"1\">\n<li>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"4809\"><span id=\"961d7e5c-0f8a-4e71-bb27-508a76c8ee66\" data-renderer-mark=\"true\" data-mark-type=\"annotation\" data-mark-annotation-type=\"inlineComment\" data-id=\"961d7e5c-0f8a-4e71-bb27-508a76c8ee66\">Product Owner<\/span> (What?)<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ak-ul\" data-indent-level=\"2\">\n<li>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"4834\">The product owner is the client or the customer itself. In the example of a product, the Product Owner would be the product manager who represents the interests of the customer. He or she manages the backlog and is responsible for planning and organisation with the company.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"5114\">Scrum Team (How?)<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ak-ul\" data-indent-level=\"2\">\n<li>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"5135\">The Scrum Team consists of about two to nine members and organises itself. It is responsible for ensuring that customers receive a functional product at the end of the sprint. Analysis, drafts, development, tests and documentation are all part of the <span id=\"d74e963f-92b7-486d-ba47-5291510652d3\" data-renderer-mark=\"true\" data-mark-type=\"annotation\" data-mark-annotation-type=\"inlineComment\" data-id=\"d74e963f-92b7-486d-ba47-5291510652d3\">Scrum Team&#8217;<\/span>s range of tasks.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"5420\">Scrum Master (Process)<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ak-ul\" data-indent-level=\"2\">\n<li>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"5446\">During the development process, the Scrum Master acts as a moderator. He or she monitors the progress of the sprint and communicates changes in the backlog and the wishes of the product owner to the Scrum team. The Scrum Master is fundamentally responsible for ensuring that the rules of the Scrum method are adhered to.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\">\n<table class=\"actonic_table\" style=\"width: 100%; border: #f0000; padding: 4px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Advantages of Scrum<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Challenges for Scrum<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Few, easy to understand rules<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Difficulty in communication for complex and large projects<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Ideal framework for smaller companies<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">No overall view of the entire project<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Short communication paths<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Lack of responsibilities and hierarchies in big companies<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Little documentation required<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Incompatibility with some existing company structures<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"What-is-SAFe?\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"6190\">What is SAFe?<\/h3>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"6205\">SAFe is an acronym for Scaled Agile Framework and a tool to bring agility to larger organisations with multiple teams. SAFe scales the benefits of Scrum to more complex structures while maintaining centralised decision-making processes.<\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"6443\">The framework was introduced in 2011 by Dean Leffingwell and Drew Jemilo to help companies develop better systems more efficiently. It is based primarily on systematic thinking, lean product development and agile software development. Of all the scaled frameworks used, SAFe is very popular.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"SAFe-roles\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"6736\">SAFe roles<\/h4>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"6748\">At the team level, SAFe has the same roles as Scrum.
