What is Scrum?
Scrum is the most popular agile approach.
Originally embraced by IT teams, Scrum is rapidly being adopted by other disciplines such as HR, Finance departments, product design, marketing and many others.
- Scrum is a framework within which people can collaboratively address complex problems, while creatively delivering outputs (called products) of the best possible value.
- Scrum is not a process, technique or definitive method. Rather, it is approach to team collaboration and effectively manages and prioritises the workload.
- The framework consists of Scrum Teams and associated roles, events, Artefacts and rules.
- Each of these components serves a specific purpose and is essential to Scrum’s success.
- Each of these components and the rules that bind them rules are described in The Scrum Guide, developed in 1995 and sustained by creators Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland.
