TAILIEUCHUNG - Project Management and Scrum – A Side by Side Comparison

Another interesting feature is the responsibility of the project manager. The Guide defines project manager simply as "An individual responsible for managing aproject." The Software Engineering Institute goes further and calls it "The role with total business responsibility for an entire project; the individual who directs, controls, administers, and regulates a project . . . [and] is the individual ultimately responsible to the end user." In sharp contrast, under PRINCE2 the project manager is "The person given the authority and responsibility to manage the project on a day-to-day basis to deliver the required products within the constraints agreed with the Project Board." These constraints are referred to. | Project Management and Scrum - A Side by Side Comparison by Anne Loeser October 2006 For decades software development projects have followed the classic waterfall method in which software development initiatives were carefully analyzed designed documented coded tested and ultimately delivered to the customer - sometimes years after inception.

Scrum which is one of several Agile approaches was first developed and presented in 1995 so it is relatively novel when compared with traditional software development processes which have been used for decades. The purpose of this paper is to compare traditional waterfall project standards and deliverables with those in Scrum and to contrast the Project Manager s role with that of the Scrum Master.
