Justification of the Effort
Of course, most projects will complete and deliver a finished product. The ROI will not be known immediately, as there is usually a lag between project completion and achieving the expected benefits. However, program and portfolio management can measure the final business value months or years after project completion, based on the original customer expectations.
There are Product Owner roles at these levels, they essentially perform the role of a Product Owner at program and portfolio level, as well as a Chief Product Owner, who can be appointed in the case of large projects with multiple Scrum teams. These Product Owners are all the custodians of business value for the company, no matter at what level they operate.
The value-based delivery of Scrum is a constant throughout any Scrum project, which is why it has been so widely adopted in many environments that require software development. However, Scrum was originally described as a framework that would be suitable for any kind of teamwork, not just software development, and is gradually being implemented by enterprises for other business units and even the company as a whole. The collaborative and democratic style is more suitable for companies coping with digital transformation and the need to constantly innovate in the twenty-first century.
