You always hear this term between your colleagues, but you still don\u2019t know the\u00a0meaning? Let\u2019s define it together!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Scrum is one of the most popular frameworks (it\u2019s not a methodology) of Agile\u00a0project management, which is used for managing complex products. The key point\u00a0which we should remember while learning Scrum, is that it delivers the product\u00a0incrementally. What it means? What we know about stakeholders purpose, is that\u00a0they wish to have a product which can assure them to be the first, and in trends of\u00a0the market, to be competitive and have enough flexibility for improvements based\u00a0on the customer feedback
\n.<\/div>\n
They call it \u201ca framework of a Team\u201d, as it brings the mutual motivation and goal\u00a0between team members. Scrum encourages teams to learn through experiences, on\u00a0their faults and success stories, maturity while working on a problem, and reflect\u00a0on their wins and losses to continuously improve
\n.<\/div>\n
When talking about Scrum, everyone imagine software development teams,\u00a0because of the frequently use in IT industry, but, overall, its principals and rules can\u00a0be experienced in different team works in different fields. One of key factors why it\u00a0is now so popular is due to its simplicity and great performance .<\/div>\n
\n

As history claims, the term ‘Scrum’ was first used by Hirotaka Takeuchi and Ikujiro\u00a0Nonaka in1986. The name was borrowed from\u00a0the game of rugby, and after it in the\u00a0early 1990s Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland developed the Scrum framework.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Scrum combines lots of constant and planned events, mechanisms, so the work and\u00a0progress following are getting more and more easy.<\/div>\n
It is based on the\u00a0epricism<\/strong>:\u00a0working in a data-based, experience-based, and evidence-based manner<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
The roles\u00a0in\u00a0Scrum\u00a0are quite different from the traditional software methods.<\/div>\n
Attention! The roles are not positions, which means one member can have different\u00a0roles in different projects and teams.In\u00a0Scrum, there are\u00a0three\u00a0roles: Product Owner<\/strong>(Who is responsible for Product\u00a0Backlog and Task defining process), Development Team<\/strong>(who is responsible for\u00a0delivering the product increment, following the constant rules),\u00a0and\u00a0Scrum\u00a0Master<\/strong>(who is the coach of the Team, and who track the workflow).<\/p>\n

We have also defined\u00a0ceremonies<\/strong>\u00a0inside the team, which help us to follow the\u00a0whole process of the project: Sprint Backlog Refinement, Sprint Planning Meeting,\u00a0Daily Stand-up Meeting, Sprint Review Meeting, Sprint Retrospective Meeting.Imagine a process! Refinement gives us more simplicity in definition of upcoming\u00a0tasks and covering all questions included in that sprint. On each Planning meeting,\u00a0the Scrum team defines the current sprint goal and tasks to be completed. The \u00a0workflow is followed properly on daily bases, which assures our Daily Stand-up meeting. Moreover, the sprint completion, work result and Team obstacles & improvements are checked and defined on Sprint Review and Retrospective meetings.<\/div>\n

\n
So after each sprint we have a product increment, which helps the\u00a0owner release the product whenever he wants.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Check these Scrum key values, which stand for the best result, whether the project\u00a0is managed by Scrum or other frameworks:<\/div>\n
