Marcus,
 
Thank for your post.  Keep with the Risk management theme scrum team fail that do not Plan Risk Response. In a recent study majority of respondents (57 %) think that this step is done during sprint planning. In sprint planning, the team through its knowledge contributes to the choice of optimal option for project risk, and then a risk implementation should be executed. 34% assert that daily scrum opens an interval where we can plan the newly identified and analyzed risk responses during the sprint(Chaouch et al., 2019).

Marcus,
Good post.
I agree that the Scrum methodology would have help tremendously if the team followed it wholeheartedly. One thing that caught my attention was in your last paragraph, you mentioned the importance of the Scrum Master. That his/her role is "essential in removing obstacles". I believe this is the crux of the problem for ByteNinja. The Scrum Master or Project Manager in this case is the leader that directs the project. He is the one that oversees everything and makes sure that it will be completed on time and within budget and that the final outcome is met. If within the team, there is someone slacking off, it is the job of the project manager to go after that person and make sure that the slacking off stops and that the project gets back on track. That's why this role is so critical to the overall project. When the Project Manager does not live up to his duty, then for sure the project will not succeed.
I would not put all the burden on the Project Manager, but in the end, he will be liable for the final outcome.

Nowadays the rise and fall of software companies is common. Those who learned lessons from their previous failures succeed…The software industry also adopts new approaches with the change in technology and techniques. Agile methodology is one of the methods that help lead to the success of any software ( P. Emam Hossain, XXXXXXXXXXScrum is the framework of agile methodology as it focuses on day-to-day project management. For the ByteNinja team, adopting Scrum could significantly improve the delivery of the Kartastic Bites POS system project by addressing past issues and cu
ent objectives.
Scrum methodology provides a framework for achieving high-quality products by
eaking down the project into manageable pieces or sprints. Each sprint focuses on delivering a set of features or functionalities that meet the quality standards established by the team. At the end of each sprint, the team conducts a review to assess the quality of the deliverables and identify areas for improvement. Given the challenges faced by the team. 
Effective communication is essential as well for the success of the project. Effective communication involves generating, collecting, disseminating, and storing project information. It ensures that all team members and stakeholders are aware of project status, requirements, and changes. Effective communication also helps to identify and resolve issues early on, preventing them from escalating into major problems.
"Lack of communication or poor communication will invariably cause your Scrum team to fall apart…Team members must have clarity about their roles, responsibilities, their team's Sprint capacity, and the scope of the problem that needs to be solved. Having a clear idea about the dates that are important for the success of the product, the purpose of the product, the customer feedback, the action items from the Sprint Retrospective, etc. helps the entire team take shared ownership of the team's results" (Ravlani, 2019).
Adopting Scrum will not only help ByteNinja manage the development of Kartastic Bites' POS system more efficiently but also ensure the final product closely aligns with Sarah's needs through improved communication, transparency, and iterative evaluation. This approach positions ByteNinja to overcome previous challenges and achieve a successful project outcome.

Integrating Scrum principles and practices includes solutions that describe the struggles in the software development teams. Scrum in the team can address challenges by highlighting Business Problem Scenarios and Programming Team Scenarios. As highlighted in the project, Communication is an essential aspect of Scrum and can help mitigate misalignment and ineffective collaboration. Daily Scrum meetings can help team members synchronize activities (Paul & Behjat, 2019). This will help discuss progress and provide a platform for transparent Communication. It ensures all stakeholders know about tasks, progress, and potential obstacles to create a collaborative environment. Task management can help in the development of Sprint Planning of Scrum. Sprint Planning in a team requires the selection of tasks from the product backlog. It includes clearly understanding priorities and achievable goals for upcoming sprints. The Sprint Review allows regular inspection of completed work. It provides opportunities to adapt and reprioritize tasks-based feedback from stakeholders. Quality assurance challenges must be addressed through the implementation of sprint retrospectives. It helps the team to reflect on past sprints to identify areas for improvement and implementation of solutions. This includes the implementation of refining processes and incorporating feedback loops.
The team can enhance quality assurance practices to reduce the occu
ence of software bugs and defects. Roles included in Scrum are Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Development Team. It can help establish responsibilities and accountabilities. It ensures a sense of ownership and empowerment in the team (Bhavsar, Shah & Gopalan, XXXXXXXXXXThe Scrum Master is essential in removing obstacles that can hamper progress. This ensures that the team can focus on delivering value. ByteNinja can transform the software development approach, which will help implement better Communication, task management, and quality assurance practices. It includes regular iterations and feedback loops that allow the team to overcome challenges. It will help the project develop a POS system for Kartastic Bites.
