Scrum project management software Intasker
At the modern market a key factor of success and competitive strength is a flexible activity, a possibility to quickly adapt to changing conditions. And using corresponding management tools, such as Scrum which has become really popular and in high demand lately, is just necessary. This is not only a list of methods and rules, this is in the first place a way of arranging a team work without using strict restrictions and frames.
Scrum won’t provide you with a strictly controlled workflow, but will ensure a set of rules and according to them the employees will build their working process on their own.
This is the main difference of a framework from a methodology. The latter indicates a certain action plan, e.g. obliges the project manager to analyze the work every Friday.
A framework will allow your team members to define the best workflow for them on their own, and to personally decide how frequently to prepare reports.
As practice shows, introducing Scrum tools to your activity allows to improve efficiency of team management in any area.
This is a paradox, but the fact remains that this framework, which denies traditional management methods, can become a very effective work tool for classic managers. Check Scrum software with the help of our project management system Instasker! The service we offer fully matches Scrum principles and lets you freely choose organizational structure for your projects, provide performers with enough permissions and have complex control over all activities!
