Scrum is an agile project management framework that is commonly used in software development and other industries). It is a lightweight yet powerful set of values, principles, and practices that emphasizes teamwork, accountability, and iterative progress toward a well-defined goal. Scrum prescribes for teams to break work into goals to be completed within time-boxed iterations, called sprints). Each sprint is no longer than a month and has a defined goal that the team works towards). Scrum allows for continuous feedback and flexibility, requiring teams to self-organize by encouraging physical co-location or close online collaboration, and mandating frequent communication among all team members).

The Scrum framework is made up of a Scrum Team consisting of a Product Owner, a Scrum Master, and Developers, each of which has specific accountabilities. The Scrum Team takes part in five events and produces three artifacts. The five events are:

• Sprint: A time-boxed iteration of work, typically lasting no longer than a month, during which the Scrum Team works to complete a defined goal.

• Sprint Planning: A meeting at the beginning of each sprint where the Scrum Team plans the work to be done during the sprint.

• Daily Scrum: A daily meeting where the Scrum Team synchronizes their work and plans for the day.

• Sprint Review: A meeting at the end of each sprint where the Scrum Team demonstrates the work they have completed and receives feedback.

• Sprint Retrospective: A meeting at the end of each sprint where the Scrum Team reflects on their work and identifies areas for improvement.

The three artifacts produced by the Scrum Team are:

• Product Backlog: A prioritized list of work to be done, maintained by the Product Owner.

• Sprint Backlog: A list of work to be done during the current sprint, selected by the Scrum Team during Sprint Planning.

• Increment: The sum of all the completed Product Backlog items at the end of a sprint.

Scrum is an empirical process, where decisions are based on observation, experience, and experimentation. It is designed to be flexible and adaptable to the needs of the team and the project. Scrum is often used in software development, but it can be applied to any project that requires a flexible and iterative approach to project management).
