Scrum is an agile project management framework used primarily in software development to organize work into short, iterative cycles called sprints, typically lasting one to four weeks. It defines specific roles (Scrum Master, Product Owner, Development Team), ceremonies (daily standups, sprint planning, retrospectives), and artifacts (product backlog, sprint backlog) to help teams deliver incremental value and adapt quickly to change. It's widely adopted by tech companies and increasingly by non-software teams seeking more flexible workflows.
