Scrum

Overview​

Scrum is an agile framework with defined roles (Product Owner, Scrum Master, Developers), events (Sprint, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, Retrospective), and artifacts (Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, Increment). It creates a regular rhythm of planning, delivery, and inspection.

Key concepts​

  • Sprint — Fixed time box (often 1–4 weeks) producing a usable increment.
  • Definition of Done — Shared quality bar for every backlog item.
  • Empiricism — Transparency, inspection, adaptation.
  • Commitments — Product Goal, Sprint Goal (per Scrum Guide).
  • Stakeholder feedback — Sprint Review informs backlog ordering.

Scrum events in a sprint​

Sample: daily Scrum prompts​

  1. What did I complete toward the Sprint Goal?
  2. What will I work on today?
  3. What blockers or risks do I see?
