Scrum Methodology

• Scrum methodology is a part of Agile movement. It is approach to agile software development.
• Scrum emphasizes collaboration, functioning software, team self management, and flexibility to adapt to emerging business realities.
• Using scrum, product development is on-going with frequent releases rather than one shot development (like in waterfall methodology)

• Scrum uses fixed-length iterations, called SPRINTS, which are typically two weeks or 30 days long. Scrum teams attempts to build a potentially shippable and properly tested product increment in every SPRINT.
