According to Scrum.org, Scrum is a framework within which people can address complex adaptive problems while productively and creatively delivering products of the highest possible value.
Scrum is today's most popular Agile project management and project development methodology/framework. It is an adaptive, iterative, efficient, and effective framework designed to deliver significant value quickly and throughout a project. Scrum ensures transparency in communication and creates an environment of collective accountability and continuous progress.
It is a lightweight framework that helps people, teams, and organisations generate value through adaptive solutions for complex problems. Scrum co-creators Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland have written The Scrum Guide to explain Scrum clearly and succinctly. This Guide contains the definition of Scrum. This definition consists of Scrum’s accountabilities, events, artefacts, and the rules that bind them together. In a nutshell, Scrum requires a Scrum Master to foster an environment where:
A Product Owner orders the work for a complex problem into a Product Backlog.
The Scrum Team turns a selection of the work into an Increment of value during a Sprint.
The Scrum Team and its stakeholders inspect the results and adjust for the next Sprint.
Repeat.
