Advantages and Disadvantages of Scrum

The widespread use of Scrum already shows that it works as a tool and many projects have been carried out to the satisfaction of the stakeholders. When introducing Scrum into a conventionally run organization, clear Scrum guidelines and instructions are an advantage. However, this strict structure can also prove to be a disadvantage over time.

Advantages:

• Promotes team spirit.
• Promotes personal responsibility in the team.
• Relief of management/project management.
• Improvement process integrated through retrospectives.

Disadvantages:

• Less predictability: At the beginning of the project, it is hardly possible to make a reliable statement about the effort.
• Inertia: Changes and new requirements can only be implemented in the next sprint.
• The work within the sprint is not very structured.
• Towards the end of the sprint, the workload of the development team increases.
