Scrum, and the need for a platform

Scrum is a lightweight framework for agile development. Functionality is delivered in iterative cycles allowing immediate feedback and reaction to changing business opportunities.

Scrum Methodology may appear misleadingly simple on paper.

However, teams that have tried to adopt it, soon notice that whithout proper support and automation, Scrum may become time consuming, hard to report upon and cumbersome for larger, distributed teams.

pmScrum gives teams and their stakeholders an immediate and transparent visibility in actual status, planning and risk. pmScrum’s open structure links work items through their life cycle, ffrom product backlog stories to sprint items and tasks in one click.

It visualizes work packages, resource availability and planning meetings in one, comprehensive overview.
