Definition Of Scrum
“Scrum is a lightweight framework that helps people, teams and organizations generate value through adaptive solutions for complex problems.”
– Scrum Guide (2020)
Scrum has its roots in agile software and product development.
Today, Scrum and other agile techniques are being used at startups, commercial enterprises, non-profits, NGOs, schools (K thru 12+ Universities), and within government and military organizations internationally.
You can learn more about the origin of my Scrum Chicken and Pig Cartoons at cartoon_origin.mvizdos.com (since 2006).
You can listen to a FREE audiobook of the 2020 Scrum Guide at scrumguide.mvizdos.com, view the online interactive 2020 Scrum Guide at InteractiveScrumGuide.com, or watch the You Tube Playlist of each section of the 2020 Scrum Guide (sg20_playlist.mvizdos.com).
All three versions are authorized by the two founders of Scrum (Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland) so it’s all legit!
