Agile and Scrum

According to Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland of Scrum.org, Scrum is a way to make and maintain complex products. Agile and scrum are both . The scrum/agile framework consists of a team that has clear and identical goals and objectives. In order to maintain order of what features are being worked on group communication is crucial. As one could imagine, this level of communication can be daunting to maintain with all group members.

A time measurement of Scrum is called a sprint where the goals and scope of the sprint are determined in a group meeting as to ensure that all members have clarity of what the group is trying to do. Sprints are no more than a month in length and a new sprint starts as the previous one ends as to keep the flow of the project going. The project is finish only when the group has reached what they consider to be done which is determined at the beginning of the project.

Once to product is finished the development does not stop there. Scrum is more of a cycle because product can always be improved in some way or another. Features can be added, removed or even modified to improve the product for customer needs.
