Scrum
The Scrum Framework
At its core, Scrum is an Agile framework designed to enhance collaboration, flexibility, and transparency in project development. It empowers teams to adapt to changing requirements and deliver high-quality results efficiently. The Scrum framework consists of three essential roles: the Product Owner, the Scrum Master, and the Development Team.
Sprints and Daily Stand-Ups
Scrum operates in time-boxed iterations known as "sprints," typically lasting two to four weeks. During each sprint, the team focuses on delivering a specific set of features or functionalities. Daily stand-up meetings keep everyone aligned, highlighting progress, challenges, and goals for the day.
Product Backlog and User Stories
The Product Owner maintains a prioritized list of features, known as the Product Backlog. Each item in the backlog is described as a user story, detailing the desired functionality from an end-user perspective. The Development Team selects user stories from the backlog for each sprint.
Continuous Improvement
Scrum encourages a culture of continuous improvement through regular retrospectives. After each sprint, the team reflects on what went well and what could be improved. This iterative approach allows for quick adjustments and optimizations.
