What is Scrum?
Scrum is a framework for developing, delivering and sustaining complex products through effective team collaboration.
Scrum has been used to develop software, hardware, autonomous vehicles, schools, government, marketing, managing the operation of organizations and almost everything we use in our daily lives, as individuals and societies.
