But fear not: you can make management easier as well as help your team become more proactive and engaged and level up the overall product quality. Do you want to know how? Tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/best-time-tracking-and-invoicing-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best time tracking and invoicing software<\/a> can help streamline processes.<\/p><p>Read the post to learn the main principles of the scrum approach and find out how you can build the proper board that suits your project most.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Scrum?<\/h2><p>Let&rsquo;s start with the definition of Scrum. This is a project management framework  for managing the work of the organization widely used in agile. Put simply:<\/p><p>Scrum is a set of tools, features, and rules directed to the coordination of the team members to structure and manage the workflow much more effectively. The main principle of the approach lies in breaking down the complex project into manageable tasks and short iterations (&ldquo;sprints&rdquo;).<\/p><p>Providing total transparency, the methodology means that the team learns from experience and constantly improves its skills by examining gaps and wins. All that leads to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/collaboration-skills\/\" target=\"_blank\">effective collaboration<\/a> and continuous improvement in the quality of the deliverables. Not only developers but any kind of teamwork can take advantage of the scrum on their way to the settled objectives.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introduction to Scrum - 7 Minutes\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9TycLR0TqFA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>What makes <a href=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/best-project-management-methodologies-compared\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">scrum methodology unique<\/a>?

The main principles and steps are outlined below.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create Product Backlog<\/h3><p>Before the actual work begins, you need to create a list of all the work that needs to be completed in a project to get the final product done. That&rsquo;s what <strong><em>Product<\/em><\/strong><em> <\/em><strong><em>Backlog<\/em><\/strong> is. It&rsquo;s founded on the roadmap, wishes, expectations, and requirements.<\/p><p>Defining all the necessary work to do, you should make sure that the tasks in the product backlog are sorted by <a href=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/priorities-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">priority<\/a>. This is to ensure that engineers know what to deliver first.<\/p><p>This list will be the input for future sprint backlogs along with user stories. Take into account that the product backlog isn&rsquo;t permanent and can be changed\/re-prioritized with some items removed\/added, etc. at any moment.

Once established, no more tasks\/items can be added to it. After that, the team defines how the work should be delivered. Therefore, at the end of the meeting, each member of the scrum team should be clear on 2 things:<\/p><ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What tasks they should complete during the sprint;<\/li><li>How to deliver the increment.<\/li><\/ol><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Work on Tasks<\/h3><p>The next step is the assignment of each task to a definite employee.
