Scrum is an Agile framework used for managing and developing software projects through short, iterative work cycles called sprints. It focuses on collaboration, continuous improvement, and delivering small, usable parts of a product regularly.
In software development and project management, Scrum helps teams organize work efficiently, adapt to changing requirements, and maintain transparency throughout the development process.
For example:
- A development team releases new application features every two weeks through sprint cycles.
- Daily stand-up meetings help team members discuss progress and blockers.
- A product backlog is prioritized to decide which features are developed first.
- Teams review completed work at the end of each sprint and improve processes.
Common roles, tools, and concepts related to Scrum include:
