There are still a few CHALLENGES which the Scrum team face during the development phase.

• Non-availability of Product Owner at the site.
• During the development, some field issues or high priority bugs come up.
• Difficult to change the mindset of management from the traditional model to Agile.
• Some development efforts don’t EASILY fit into a time-boxed sprint. Therefore, Scrum doesn’t work for me. This is a real problem. Several kinds of development resist being meaningfully squeezed into standard size SPRINTS. Here’s a partial list:

• New system architecture
• New complex user interface design
• Database ETL requiring extract, cleanse, transform, stage, and present data

• Developers accustomed to working AUTONOMOUSLY may find that Scrum is unnecessary and slows them down.
• DISTRIBUTED team-Communication is the core issue among distributed teams. Different time zones and conflicting working hours may impair overall effectiveness, and collaboration may be difficult in some cases.

Though there are so many challenges, there are ways to handle each and every situation and deliver a quality product with customer satisfaction.
