What is Scrum?
Scrum is the most prominent framework for implementing Agile development. In Scrum, a Scrum Team consisting of a Scrum Master, a Product Owner, and Developers is formed to create a verifiable output (Increment) within a fixed period called a Sprint (within one month). By creating an Increment every Sprint, you can deliver value to stakeholders quickly and flexibly adjust the product's direction based on the situation. Furthermore, in today's unpredictable world—often referred to as VUCA—Scrum is increasingly being utilized not only in product development but also in various business areas requiring complex work.
