Instructions

Prepare for this assignment

Before starting this assignment, you should:

Evaluate two student analysis documents of the case

In future case studies, you will write a detailed response to several analysis questions for the case. For this first one, rather than doing the analysis yourself, you will read hypothetical student responses and evaluate them to identify things they did well and things they could have improved.

The following are the four analysis questions for this case:

  1. What improvements has the hybrid Scrum approach provided over the previous Waterfall approach used at Solution Point?
  2. What are the challenges or problems that Milton is facing at the end of the case?
  3. What are some adjustments Solution Point could make to their hybrid scrum approach to make it more effective?
  4. Given what you know about the company, how might the key stakeholders react if Milton suggests your proposed changes? Are there any risks for him personally?

Consider your own response to each of those questions. Then, download and read the following two student response documents.
