Scrum framework in 30 Seconds

Scrum Is an innovative approach to getting work done.

Scrum is an agile framework for completing complex projects.

The possibilities are endless. The Scrum framework is deceptively simple.

Main points

• A product owner creates a prioritized wish list called a product backlog.
• During sprint planning, the team pulls a small chunk from the top of that wishlist, a sprint backlog, and decides how to implement those pieces.
• The team has a certain amount of time, a sprint, to complete its work - usually 2 to 4 weeks but meets each day to assess its progress (Daily scrum).
• Along the way, the ScrumMaster keeps the team focused on its goal.
• At the end of the sprint, the work should be potentially shippable, as in ready to hand to a customer, put on a store shelf, or show to a stakeholder. (For example - Customer demo)
• The sprint ends with a sprint review and retrospective.
• As the next sprint begins, the team chooses another chunk of the product backlog and begins working again.
