How to use Scrum to improve customer satisfaction
Customer satisfaction is an important measure of business success. Satisfied customers are more likely to do business with a company in the future, recommend the company to others and spend more money.
Scrum is an agile framework for project management that can be used to improve customer satisfaction in a number of ways.
1. Customer-centric
One of the fundamental principles of Scrum is customer-centricity. This means that Scrum teams focus on customers’ needs and on delivering a product or service that meets those needs.
To do this, Scrum teams work closely with customers to understand their needs and expectations. Scrum teams also use regular customer feedback techniques to gather feedback on products or services under development.
This customer-centric approach helps Scrum teams to create products or services that meet and satisfy customer needs.
2. Incremental delivery
Scrum is an iterative, incremental framework. This means that Scrum teams deliver products or services in regular increments, called sprints.
This incremental delivery approach enables Scrum teams to gather customer feedback on products or services under development earlier in the development process. This enables Scrum teams to make changes to products or services based on customer feedback, which can help improve customer satisfaction.
3. Close collaboration
Scrum emphasizes close collaboration between the various project stakeholders, including customers.
This enables Scrum teams to understand customer needs and work together to create products or services that meet those needs.
Close collaboration with customers can help improve customer satisfaction by ensuring that products or services meet their needs and expectations.
Conclusion
Scrum is a powerful framework that can be used to improve customer satisfaction in a number of ways. By focusing on the customer, delivering products or services in regular increments and collaborating closely with customers, Scrum teams can create products or services that satisfy customers and build loyalty.
