This presentation will focus on how the EOL Computing Data and Software services facility (CDS) is using Agile Scrum to achieve project successes amid field campaign deployments and multitasking.
Scrum is often referred to as the “project management” of the Agile development family. Although the general function of organizing the work, i.e., “managing the project” is there, the approach is very different from traditional project management. Scrum was created by: Jeff Sutherland, Ken Schwaber, and Mike Beedle. All three helped create and signed the Agile Manifesto in 2001.
