Scrum
Scrum is a lightweight framework that helps people, teams, and organizations generate value through adaptive solutions for complex problems. Created by Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland in the early 1990s and first presented at the OOPSLA Conference in 1995, Scrum operates on three foundational pillars: transparency, inspection, and adaptation. Teams work in fixed time periods called Sprints with defined roles (Scrum Master, Product Owner, Developers) and specific events (planning, daily standups, reviews, retrospectives). The framework is guided by five core values: Commitment, Focus, Openness, Respect, and Courage.
