What would you say is the minimum / appropriate team size and project duration for using Scrum?

We’re thinking about using Scrum for our next software project (about 1600 – 1800 Man-hours) with a team size of 7 members. Since the team size is pretty big (in relation to the project duration, but cant avoid that), would you prefer Scrum?

    7 members in a team is perfect from SCRUM. The only reasons why you would consider some other process instead of SCRUM:

    • Your requirements change radically on a daily basis.
    • Your project is shorter than 1 week.
    • Members of your team are not willing to adapt to the SCRUM way of doing things.
    • All your members are senior software developers and know exactly what must be done. Then trust me, SCRUM is a waste of time.

    Finally, in SCRUM you first experiment little bit in order to find the perfect balance. (That comes from SCRUM being empirical process)
