Scrum

Scrum is a framework within the agile methodology that assists teams in organizing and overseeing their tasks through a defined set of values, principles, and practices. Drawing inspiration from the rugby play of the same name, it promotes experiential learning, encourages teams to self-organize while tackling challenges, and emphasizes reflection on successes and failures for ongoing improvement.

A Scrum team consists of a self-managing group with three specific roles aimed at maximizing adaptability and efficiency. Each role carries unique responsibilities, yet they work closely together to deliver the product in increments. This arrangement fosters clear accountability and focus.

Scrum artifacts are essential components that outline the product and the tasks necessary for its creation. They enhance transparency and facilitate opportunities for review and adjustment. These artifacts ensure that the entire team and stakeholders are aligned with the objectives and progress.

Although both Scrum and Kanban are agile frameworks, they present distinct methodologies for managing tasks and delivering value.

Scrum is particularly effective in helping teams adjust to evolving conditions and user requirements. Its iterative methodology employs brief release cycles to promote continuous learning and enhancement. This incremental approach allows teams to swiftly adapt and provide greater value to customers.
