According to the Scrum Guide, Scrum is a framework within which people can address complex

problems, and productively and creatively develop products of the highest possible value. It’s a tool

organizations can use to increase their agility.

Within Scrum self-organizing, cross-functional, and highly productive teams do the work: creating

valuable releasable product increments. Scrum offers a framework that catalyzes the teams learning

through discovery, collaboration and experimentation.

A great Scrum Team consists of a Product Owner who maximizes value, a Scrum Master who enables

continuous improvement and a Development Team who focuses on delivering high quality product
