SCRUM

Scrum is an agile methodology for software project management. Scrum was invented in 1993 by Jeff Sutherland, John Scumniotales and Jeff McKenna. According to latest surveys Scrum is the most popular agile project management methodology in software development. Often Scrum mixed with Extreme Programming engineering practices like TDD and refactoring for better results.

Core Scrum practices are:

• Backlog (Product, Release, Sprint Backlog - lists of all functionality in product, release and sprint respectively)
• Iterative development (The whole project gets divided into Sprints usually 4 weeks duration each)
• Scrum meetings (daily meetings where team members answers the following questions: What have you done since the last scrum meeting? What has impeded your work? What do you plan on doing between now and the next scrum meeting?)
• Burn Down Charts (charts that show Sprint, Release and Product progress)
• Sprint review meeting (provides an inspection of project progress at the end of the every Sprint)
