S U M M A RY For software projects to be successful, they must value transparency and frequent communication. Agile methods such as Scrum emphasize lean requirement manage- ment, but are highly structured. Scrum emphasizes co-location, strong collaboration, dedicated teams, transparency, frequent reviews, and engaged stakeholders. Documentation is only created when it helps decrease the risk of the project and the risk of miscommunication; otherwise, verbal communication is preferred over written communication. The focus is on building business value and solutions that address actual stakeholder concerns.
