Scrum encourages active involvement from the Product Owner and stakeholders throughout the product development process. This active involvement leads to higher transparency regarding both progress and the state of the product itself. Regular updates and reviews ensure that everyone is on the same page and that expectations are effectively managed.
Higher transparency helps prevent misunderstandings and miscommunications, which can derail a Project. It also enables stakeholders to make informed decisions based on the current state of the product, ensuring that the Project stays aligned with business goals and customer needs.
