This document provides an overview of Scrum, an agile framework for managing product development. Scrum focuses on iterative development through sprints, emphasizes self-organizing cross-functional teams, and uses meetings, roles and lists to facilitate collaboration. Key aspects include short development cycles, daily stand-ups to track progress, and sprint reviews to obtain feedback. While Scrum provides structure, it is meant to be flexible and human-focused rather than process-driven.
