What is Scrum?

Scrum is an agile framework in which a small team delivers work in fixed length sprints, guided by a product owner and a scrum master, with regular planning, review and retrospective meetings.

Scrum defines three roles: the product owner, who orders the product backlog; the scrum master, who helps the team follow the process and removes obstacles; and the developers, who do the work. Work happens in sprints, usually one to four weeks long.
