Introduction to Agile Scrum Project Management - with Alexis Allen

Scrum is the most widely-used Agile Project Management methodology. And Alexis Allen is an Agile Coach, ScrumMaster and IT Project Manager with over 9 years’ experience leading technology projects.
That’s why I wanted to speak with Alexis about scrum project management. We discuss:
What is scrum?
How does it differ from ‘traditional’ predictive or waterfall Project Management?
When would you choose to use Scrum over predictive methods?
What is the role of a Project Manager in scrum?
How can a Project Manager make the transition to working in a scrum team?
