Scrum

A lightweight agile framework for creating and evolving complex products, defined by specific roles, time-boxed events, and prescribed artifacts.

Key Points

  • Uses empirical process control: transparency, inspection, and adaptation.
  • Roles include Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Developers, each with clear responsibilities.
  • Time-boxed events: Sprint, Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective.
  • Core artifacts: Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, and Increment guided by a Definition of Done.

Example

A software team delivers a new mobile app using 2-week Sprints. The Product Owner orders the Product Backlog, the team plans the Sprint, meets daily for the Daily Scrum, demos the Increment at Sprint Review, and improves their process in the Retrospective. Each Sprint ends with a potentially releasable Increment.
