Scrum

It was originally used in the IT sphere as one of the approaches of Agile development methodology. At the moment, Scrum has found wider application and is being implemented in various departments - from accounting to production. The approach helps businesses to innovate faster and move from idea to final product, as well as to improve the quality of services provided. The key features of Scrum are: - **Iterative **The project work is broken down into sprints (cycles of 1 to 4 weeks), with a goal and task list defined for each. At the end of the cycle, the results are demonstrated and the team's work is analyzed and optimized, and if necessary, changes are made to the product backlog (list of project tasks). - **Working in self-organizing and cross-functional teams **Teams are formed from diverse specialists. The participants themselves determine how to approach the tasks and have all the necessary competencies to perform the work. In addition to the direct participants, the team also includes the product owner, who is responsible for its backlog, and the scrum master, who is responsible for the team's efficiency.
