Takeaway
Be a high performing, cross-functional team
Scrum is Lean and Flexible • Works for small - big teams and for multiple teams working in parallel • Works for external and remote team members also • Team members can be added
Scrum is Powerful • Rely on empirical data from previous projects (speed, effort, tools, methods) • Get used to a framework where communication and self management are key • You break down complex problems into small parts (MVPs), rely on what works
and on the talent and experience of your team
