Implementing an SCRUM project management practice improved their ability to manage changing priorities. SCRUM is perfect for any project that requires a series of versions or iterations that need to be reviewed and improved on until the final is ready for prime time. For example, instead of waiting six months for a deliverable that is either flawed or no longer meeting the current requirements, SCRUM lets you produce a first draft within as little as two weeks (or less) for immediate feedback—and from here you can improve upon each version until it’s complete. There are a lot more benefits to using SCRUM.
