6. 1. Agile puts the Product Owner (aka “the business” or customer representative) in the driver’s
seat – In the majority of the waterfall style projects the customer is involved, but in a limited capacity. They get to define a
scope up-front, but then any changes they deem necessary are change ordered back to them. This practice assumes that
the customer knows exactly what they want up front and penalizes them for changing their minds later in the development
process.
2. Agile allows the business to quickly react to changing market conditions and needs – The only
thing constant in today‟s economy is change. Businesses need to be able to make quick course corrections in order to
survive.
3. Agile provides visibility into the development process – For many customers software development is a
dark art. They don‟t have the background in order to understand the technical details and in most cases the development
team prefers it this way. The customer is left feeling helpless and Agile engages them throughout the development
lifecycle, providing enhanced visibility.
4. Agile also puts the Development Team in the driver’s seat - While the Product Owner is responsible for
“what” is to be developed the Development Team is self-directing and self-organizing as to “how” to develop the system-
software product

8. Scrum Explained
“The… „relay race‟ approach to
product development…may conflict
with the goals of maximum speed
and flexibility. Instead a holistic or
‘rugby’ approach—where a team
tries to go the distance as a unit,
passing the ball back and forth—
may better serve today’s
competitive requirements.”- Hirotaka
Takeuchi and Ikujiro Nonaka, “The New New Product Development
Game”, Harvard Business Review, January 1986
In Scrum you work in iterations
delivering value-adding results
incrementally
