Scrum Framework

Scrum is a lightweight, iterative, and incremental framework within Agile methodology that helps teams deliver complex products through collaboration and self-organization. Founded on empiricism, Scrum embraces three pillars: transparency, inspection, and adaptation. The framework revolves around specific roles, events, and artifacts. The three key roles include: 1. Product Owner: Represents stakeholders, manages the product backlog, and maximizes value. 2. Scrum Master: Facilitates the process, removes impediments, and ensures adherence to Scrum principles. 3. Development Team: Self-organizing professionals who create the product increments. Scrum operates in time-boxed iterations called Sprints, typically 1-4 weeks long, where teams work to deliver a potentially shippable product increment. The Sprint begins with Sprint Planning, where the team selects items from the Product Backlog to form the Sprint Backlog. Daily Scrum meetings (15 minutes) allow team members to synchronize activities and create a plan for the next 24 hours. At the Sprint's conclusion, two key events occur: the Sprint Review, where stakeholders provide feedback on the completed increment, and the Sprint Retrospective, where the team reflects on their process to improve future Sprints. Core Scrum artifacts include: 1. Product Backlog: An ordered list of everything needed in the product. 2. Sprint Backlog: Items selected for the current Sprint plus a plan for delivering them. 3. Increment: The sum of completed backlog items during a Sprint. Scrum thrives on frequent inspection and adaptation, making it particularly effective for complex projects where requirements evolve. By embracing continuous improvement and delivering value early and often, Scrum enables teams to respond rapidly to change while maintaining focus on customer needs.
