What is Scrum?

Scrum is a term drawn from Rugby, which refers to how the game is restarted after a foul or when the ball has left the game.

The history of Scrum can be traced back to 1986 in the Harvard Business Review (HBR) article, which described how companies such as Honda, Canon, and Fuji-Xerox produce new products worldwide using a scalable and team-based approach to product development. This approach emphasizes the importance of empowering self-organized teams.

The article was an influence to develop many of the concepts that gave birth to what we now call Scrum. In 1993, Jeff Sutherland and his team at Easel Corporation created the Scrum process to be used in software development processes by combining the concepts of the 1986 article with the concepts of object-oriented development, empirical process control, iterative development and incremental, software processes and productivity improvement, as well as the development of complex and dynamic systems.

Scrum is an agile development methodology used in the development of Software based on an iterative and incremental processes.

Scrum is adaptable, fast, flexible and effective agile framework that is designed to deliver value to the customer throughout the development of the project. The primary objective of Scrum is to satisfy the customer’s need through an environment of transparency in communication, collective responsibility and continuous progress.

The development starts from a general idea of what needs to be built, elaborating a list of characteristics ordered by priority (product backlog) that the owner of the product wants to obtain.
