Scrum provides a proven foundation for the execution of projects. However, in every project the Scrum process must be adapted to address specific needs and circumstances. How this is done is a large factor in the success or failure of a project. In this article, we describe how we successfully executed a large (20 man-years, 100.000+ lines of code) Scrum project, one which had already been scrapped once under a traditional approach, and which included developers in both India and the Netherlands. In the hope of helping readers run successful, large Scrum projects, we share here our lessons learned on: project startup, getting the right product owner, the importance of estimates, effective communication, testing and documentation.
