"So much of Scrum is a way of thinking about the project, the customers, and the team that an interactive class like the 2-day ScrumMaster course - where I learned by example - is the best way to learn it."

Frequent, First-hand Observations

Scrum provides direct visibility into the progress of the project.

Ê Management can attend and observe the daily Scrum meetings. During these meetings they can observe team spirit, each member's participation, team member interaction, work that is being completed, and impediments to progress.

Management can attend and participate in Post-Sprint Meetings and Sprint Planning Meetings, where - based on progress to date and team capabilities - work is planned.

Scrum provides daily status on team progress, and iterative (every 30 days) reviews of product progress. Everything is visible - what's to be worked on, how work is progressing, and what has been built - supporting management decisions regarding cost, time, quality, and functionality. Plus, management is apprised daily what it can do to help the development teams - what decisions are needed, and what's getting in the way.
