In Chapter 6 , we covered the difference between multiple delivery frameworks. We also learned that Scrum is by far the most popular Agile framework, and one of the reasons for this is that Scrum allows for the most accurate planning, short term and long term, thus establishing predictability that far surpasses traditional project management. This statement may not seem immediately intuitive. In traditional (Waterfall) project management, a lot of time and effort goes into planning. Opinions of senior leaders in each area are collected, the experience of prior relevant projects is studied and analyzed in depth, and a lot of time is spent creating work breakdown structures, which list all tasks that need to be done to complete the project. All those efforts create a sense of thoughtful, reliable planning, which can be relied upon.
