Some Myths About Scrum
The same
but faster!
project
manager is
called
scrum
master nowThe same but
cheaper!
change
requirements
at any time!
no change
management
needed
Scrum is always
better!
co-located or distributed
teams, who cares?
Scrum happens
only within the
project team
scrum fits perfect into
our established project
methodologyno cultural change
It‘s almost impossible to have a team with
generalists in an SAP Project
You will always have specialist for specific
modules or topics
The Team
ABAP is not Docker!
Usually not only one project on one system,
therefore dependencies regarding go-live
Enterprises are not ready for frequently
changing software
The Technology
Business Processes The Stakeholder
Enterprises are used to do process design first
Up-front process design must take place
General process changes are complicated
As you need specialist but not full assigned, you
will have people working for the project outside
the team

Keep in Mind!
Scrum does not
always fit!
Check your Scrum
readiness before you
start!
Scrum elements
can help you!
A daily stand-up or
planning poker might
help also in a waterfall
project. But don’t call
it Scrum in this case!
SAP Projects are
different!
And in general not that
agile. Be aware of
that!
Scrum is not about
being cheaper, it’s
about better
results!
This might cause some
discussions with your
management, but you
need them!
Lessons Learned and Best Practice!
