Scrum is a widely-used Agile framework for managing software development projects, emphasizing teamwork, transparency, and self-organization to tackle complex problems. Originating from a rugby term, Scrum fosters a collaborative team environment, distinct from other Agile frameworks due to its simplicity, flexibility, and value generation for both businesses and customers. It involves three key roles—Product Owner, Scrum Master, and development team—and follows six core principles: self-organized, cross-functional teams; empirical process control; constant feedback; iterative development for rapid releases; customer value prioritization; and timeboxing for predictability. While effective in many scenarios, Scrum can falter in rigid environments like government-regulated projects or organizations resistant to structural or cultural change. Timeboxing in Scrum helps maintain focus, protect teams from overcommitment, and clarify progress by imposing strict time limits on tasks and meetings.
