Scrum is a framework for agile project management and product development.

It is often used in
software development but can be applied to various fields where complex projects need to be
managed. Scrum provides a structured yet flexible approach to deliver high-value products
iteratively.

Key components of the Scrum framework include:

1. **Roles:**

- **Product Owner:** Represents the stakeholders and is responsible for defining and prioritizing
the product backlog.

- **Scrum Master:** Facilitates the Scrum process, removes impediments, and ensures that the
team adheres to Scrum practices.

- **Development Team:** A cross-functional group responsible for delivering a potentially

releasable product increment in each sprint.

2. **Artifacts:**

- **Product Backlog:** A prioritized list of features, enhancements, and bug fixes that need to be
addressed in the product.

- **Sprint Backlog:** A subset of the product backlog items selected for a specific sprint, along
with a plan for delivering the product increment.

- **Increment:** The sum of all the product backlog items completed during a sprint, representing
a potentially shippable product.

3. **Events:**

- **Sprint:** A time-boxed period (usually 2-4 weeks) during which a potentially releasable product
increment is created.

- **Sprint Planning:** A meeting at the beginning of each sprint where the team plans the work to
be done.

- **Daily Scrum:** A daily stand-up meeting where team members share progress, discuss
challenges, and plan the day's work.

- **Sprint Review:** A meeting at the end of each sprint where the team demonstrates the
product increment and receives feedback.

- **Sprint Retrospective:** A meeting at the end of each sprint where the team reflects on their
performance and identifies areas for improvement.
Scrum emphasizes collaboration, adaptability, and continuous improvement. It aims to deliver a
valuable product increment at the end of each sprint, allowing for frequent feedback and
adjustments. The framework is designed to be lightweight and easy to understand, promoting a
more responsive and customer-centric approach to project management.
