Summary
"Scrum is an agile framework for managing work with an emphasis on software development. It is designed for development teams of between three to nine members who break their work into actions that can be completed within timeboxed iterations, called sprints (30 days or less, most commonly two weeks) and track progress and re-plan in 15-minute stand-up meetings, called daily scrums. Approaches to coordinating the work of multiple scrum teams in larger organizations include Large-scale Scrum (LeSS), Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), scrum of scrums, and Scrum@Scale, among others."

This lesson is the first of several where we review the most popular methods available to those interested in implementing Agile principles on their projects. Scrum is by far the most popular method used today by the world’s Agile project development teams, and is also one of the most rigid in terms of recommended practices and procedures. At the heart of Scrum is the Agile iterative cycle called the Sprint, which is supported by different types of project team “Roles”, meetings called “Events”, and documentation and tools called “Artifacts”. Scrum is embraced by most organizations that not only want to implement Agile principles quickly on their projects, but are also interested in implementing Agile principles across their entire organization.
This lesson here is the first of SIX lessons in which we review Scrum.
