The Many Alternatives to Scrum – By Adam Ard

Software development processes are evolving beyond Scrum, with big tech companies leading the way. Alternatives like Kanban, Valve's flat structure, Basecamp's Shape Up, and Spotify's squad model offer different approaches focused on autonomy, continuous flow, and self-organization.

These alternatives eliminate sprints, estimates, and rigid roles, allowing teams to work more flexibly. They emphasize trust, experimentation, and tailoring processes to each organization's unique needs, potentially leading to increased productivity and employee satisfaction.
