Scrum

Scrum solves the problem of coordinating iterative delivery with clear roles and recurring feedback. It provides a lightweight structure for planning, building, reviewing, and improving work in short cycles.

Where it fits

Scrum belongs in software management and delivery methodologies. It is one way to implement Agile ideas.

Motivation

Teams need enough structure to coordinate but enough flexibility to adapt. Scrum uses sprints, reviews, retrospectives, and backlog refinement to create a predictable feedback rhythm.

Common mistakes

• Treating Scrum events as status meetings only.
• Measuring team value by velocity alone.
• Ignoring technical debt while sprint output looks healthy.
