What is Scrum?
Quick Definition
An agile framework that organizes work into fixed-length iterations called sprints, typically 1-2 weeks, with defined roles and ceremonies.
How it works
Scrum defines three roles (Product Owner, Scrum Master, Development Team), five events (Sprint, Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, Retrospective), and three artifacts (Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, Increment). It provides structure for teams that need clear cadences and accountability.
Scrum in practice
A software team runs 2-week sprints. On Monday they plan which backlog items to tackle. Each morning they have a 15-minute standup. At sprint end, they demo completed work and run a retrospective to improve their process.
