Traditional project management methods often approach all projects in the same plan driven manner regardless of the level of uncertainty and change represented by the project.  As a result projects fail to meet their anticipated business objectives and overall confidence in the team's ability to deliver is lost.  Agile methods are becoming well established to address these issues in software development efforts, but agility is not just for software.  Agile methods like Scrum can be applied to any project effort that entails significant uncertainty to deliver improved business results in ever evolving business environments, and do so in a manner that demonstrates visible, predictable progress toward today's most important business priorities. Based on a real-life client experience, this presentation will show how Scrum can be used to manage a complex supply chain process and ensure that business objectives are met.
