Implementing Scrum at Wizards Productions
We started implementing Scrum at Wizards Productions around 3 weeks ago, I’ve been studying about Scrum for quite a while now and for those who dont know what Scrum is, its a project management method that works perfectly for IT related projects especially projects that are innovative in nature.
Scrum is another approach to Agile project management with a number of differences between each of them, when it comes to game development there a number of changes to Scrum or Agile that need to be implemented, a good book on the subject of using Scrum with game development is Agile Game development with scrum
Its a bit soon to comment on the effectiveness of Scrum since we’ve been implementing some concepts from it already, but from the looks of it were much more on the mark when it comes to releasing the features (or user stories) that we had planned to launch at theĀ beginningĀ of the sprint in a much more relaxed environment and good transparency with the whole team/company.
