Re: methodology

I'm a consultant and as an experienced project manager most of my assignments are projects that have crashed or projects that are in serious problems.

In these situations the first thing to do is very seldom introducing a new process. But there's always something from Scrum you can use to mitigate the problems at hand.

So, I'm not religious, if you can't rollout full scrum pick whatever you can use from the process to get the spark back in the group, prove progress through scumboards, improve quality by using short iterations, improve customer trust and involvement through releasing often....

Hence,
- if your methdology is in direct conflict with scrum you're propably in trouble
- depending on the methodology you have you can propably run scrum inside it
- there's certainly stuff from Scrum you can use in your current methodology

Re: methodology

We're also looking to "fit" scrum into an enterprise with a traditional methodology for the full project lifecycle. I'm toying with the idea of having scrum sit exclusively in the implementation phase. The classic phases remain almost agnostic to scrum and visa-versa, with a simple interface between them for things like reporting, roles etc.
Keen to be shot down on this, if I've missed something.
