Scrum is a framework that helps teams work together. It is much more like a rugby team training for a big game. Scrum encourages team members to learn through experience, and self-organization while working on a problem, and continuously improve.

While the Scrum is most frequently used by software development teams, its principles and lessons can be applied to all kinds of teamwork and environment. This is one of the reasons Scrum is so popular. Often thought of as an Agile project management framework, Scrum describes a set of meetings, tools, and roles that work hand in hand to help teams structure and manage their work.
