DEFINITION OF SCRUM

Scrum is a framework to help product development teams be effective at delivering value in a complex environment.  It focuses on incremental, iterative product development and delivery.  Scrum is built on empirical process control, in which transparency enables inspection and adaptation.  While Scrum is simple to understand, it is challenging to master.
