Scrum definition #

• Scrum is a light weight framework
• Helps people, teams and orgs to generate value through adaptive solutions for complex problems

From scrum.org:

1. A Product Owner orders the work for a complex problem into a Product Backlog – translates: There is a complex problem
2. The Scrum Team turns a selection of the work into an Increment of value during a Sprint – translates: scrum master takes ownership to prioritize the backlog of work
3. The Scrum Team and its stakeholders inspect the results and adjust for the next Sprint – translates: the scrum team takes X amount of time to do some work based on priority
4. Repeat – translates: something is delivered to the end user until the next sprint
