The theory behind scrum says that complex processes, such as software development, change too much and are too difficult to manage.

On Friday I attended a SCRUM course given by Ken Schwaber, who's brainchild is the SCRUM process (agile software development).
The other revelation was that SCRUM can be used on anything from planning a party to building software.
SCRUM basically has a premise that you can't just hand over a brief or spec, as this flys in the face of the iterative cycle where a multidisciplinary team cracks on with finding solutions to individual requirements rather than defining whole systems (yes, I was worried here...

 Amazon.com: Agile Software Development with SCRUM: Books: Ken Schwaber,Mike Beedle
SCRUM has some very interesting ideas about managing a software project, but the book is just OK. I seem to remember him saying that "it was done quickly, just in time for a conference" on his blog at one point.
Scrum has produced by now billions of dollars in operating software in domains as varied as finance, trading, banking, telecommunications, benefits management, healthcare, insurance, e-commerce, manufacturing and even scientific environments.
Scrum is in fact much more predictable and effective than manufacturing-like processes, because when the Scrum practices, patterns and rules are applied diligently, the outcome is always; 1) higher productivity, 2) higher adaptability, 3) less risk and uncertainty, and 4) greater human comfort.

 Chris Flaat's WebLog : First Scrum sprint complete!
(One other manager planned to come but had a sick kid, which is a valid excuse.) But otherwise I really like using Scrum, and much as I felt about test-driven development, once you've used Scrum you don't want to go back to more traditional project management processes.
Having a postmortem (called a "sprint retrospective" in scrum lingo) was very useful and we directly fed the results of that back into our planning and processes for the next sprint.
We're going to continue to use Scrum internally for this project, and I'm going to turn the ScrumMaster reins over to another team member once the sprint is underway.

 Column info : Before Implementing Scrum, Consider This...
I found that Scrum can be wrapped around agile practices, or around no practices at all and have a significant impact in a short period of time.
We have implemented a three sprint scrum based on 30 workdays (6 weeks) with the third sprint being a stabilization sprint We too had some holdouts, and we still have one or two that are slowly coming on board.
I maintain implementing Scrum is one of the harder things I've done in my career as a project manager--and I believe one of the most rewarding as well.
