The Scrum Framework is a way to help teams work better together in software engineering. Here are the main parts that make Scrum effective:
-
Roles:
- Product Owner: This person speaks for everyone who has a stake in the project. They make sure the team knows what is most important to work on next.
- Scrum Master: This person helps the team by making sure everything runs smoothly. If there are any problems, they work to fix them so the team can succeed.
- Development Team: This is a group of people with different skills who work together to build the product.
-
Artifacts:
- Product Backlog: This is a list of everything needed for the project, and it gets updated all the time.
- Sprint Backlog: This is a list of specific tasks from the Product Backlog that the team will focus on during the current sprint.
- Increment: This is what the team has completed from the Product Backlog so far.
-
Events:
- Sprint: This is a set time period, usually between 2 to 4 weeks, where the team works to finish certain tasks.
- Daily Scrum: This is a quick meeting each day to discuss what everyone is doing and make sure everyone is on the same page.
Research shows that using Scrum can make the quality of products better by 44% and can boost the team's productivity by up to 80%.
