What Is Scrum

Scrum is a framework for managing complex projects. It is a flexible, iterative approach that helps teams deliver high-quality products in a fast and efficient manner.

Scrum is based on a set of values and principles that encourage collaboration, transparency, and adaptability. It is based on the idea that work should be done in short, iterative cycles called "sprints," during which teams work to deliver a specific set of features or functionality.

In Scrum, the work is managed through a series of meetings and artifacts, including:

1. The Scrum team: This is a self-organising team of individuals who are responsible for delivering the product. The team includes a Scrum Master, who is responsible for facilitating the process, and a Product Owner, who is responsible for defining and prioritising the work.
2. The Scrum process: This is the series of activities that the team follows during each sprint, including planning, development, and review.
3. The Scrum artifacts: These are the tangible outputs of the Scrum process, including the product backlog (a list of all the work that needs to be done), the sprint backlog (a list of work that will be done during the current sprint), and the increment (the completed work that has been delivered).

Scrum is widely used in software development, but it can also be applied to other types of projects, such as marketing, research, and product development. It is a popular choice for organisations that need to deliver complex products quickly and efficiently, and that value collaboration and adaptability.
