False for “Scrapbox cannot be used for project management”.
- Scrapbox itself, because the development project is done in Scrapbox.
-
Scrapbox is suitable for project management” is unclear definition of project management - If we follow PMBOK, a popular textbook on Project Management, project management is - Manage projects to completion in a given amount of time - Management to complete the project within the approved budget - Management to identify and acquire the resources needed for the project
- Concepts including
- Scrapbox development projects appear to be executed by a small group of people and without clear deadlines
- Hardly an actual example of project management in the PMBOK sense.
So, whether or not Scrapbox is suited for PMBOK-style project management, let’s put aside the question of whether or not Scrapbox is suited for PMBOK-style project management, In a “Scrapbox development” type of in-house development project with a small number of people working on it for a long period of time with no clear deadline, I have a feeling that perhaps I am very well suited to manage with Scrapbox.
Scrapbox-type management is a possible third force.
- PMBOK has a strong waterfall element.
- (PS: I wrote this in 2018, after which there was a major reform in PMBOK7 in 2021)
- If you look at it from a “waterfall ⇔ agile” perspective, Scrapbox’s development project is agile because it is not waterfall, but it is also different from the so-called agile methodologyFalse dichotomy
- Seems to take a negative position on time pressure such as iteration, velocity, etc.

- According to Drucker, “Productivity of knowledge workers cannot be measured…” Agile methods attempt to measure and manage it.
「 What to make 」
- There is no point in efficiently implementing something that should not be created.

- Software development management using Scrapbox could be very useful in determining “what to make”
- do something this way
