An agile approach is a great way to manage risk and improve your chances of meeting target dates. With the right prioritisation and focus on iterative delivery Scrum is absolutely compatible with deadlines. | |
| Jan 7, 2020 at 17:02 | comment | added | George Stocker | @CynicallyNaive That's the dichotomy between project work and product work. the person who funds it isn't the customer -- the customer is the one whom the software serves. For an internal enterprise team, you can either build for the customer (the person for whom the software is meant to serve) or you can build for the person paying for the software -- these aren't the same people generally, and Scrum has no way structurally of appeasing the 'funder'. Scrum is inherently customer focused. | |

Seems like the working definition would be who gets to set the direction, not who uses it. Of course if the two are constantly in conflict, the project's probably doomed and no methodology will save it. | |
