RUP |
SCRUM |
Formal Cycle is defined across four phases, but some workflows can be concurrent |
Each sprint is a complete cycle |
Formal project plan, associated with multiple iterations is used. |
No end to end project plan. Each next iteration plan is determined at the end of the current iteration |
Scope is predefined ahead of the project start and documented in the scope document. During the project, scope can be revised. |
It uses a project backlog instead of scope scrum |
Artifacts include Scope Document, formal functional requirements package, system architecture document, development plan, test scripts, etc. |
Operational software is the only formal artifacts |
Recommended for long term, large, enterprise level projects with medium to high complexity |
Recommended for quick enhancements and organization that are not dependent on a deadline |
