Understanding the Scrum Framework: Key Components

 🌀 What is Scrum?

Scrum is a framework for Agile project management, mainly used in software development but applicable to many industries. It helps teams deliver products incrementally and iteratively, with frequent feedback and adaptation.


🔑 Key Components of Scrum

1. Scrum Roles

Scrum defines three specific roles:


a. Product Owner

Represents the customer or stakeholders.


Manages the Product Backlog (a prioritized list of work).


Ensures the team is building the right product.


b. Scrum Master

Serves the team by removing obstacles.


Ensures Scrum is followed.


Acts as a coach and facilitator, not a manager.


c. Development Team

Cross-functional group (developers, designers, testers, etc.).


Responsible for delivering a working product increment at the end of each Sprint.


Self-organizing and collaborative.


2. Scrum Events (Ceremonies)

a. Sprint

A fixed time-box (usually 1–4 weeks).


Work is planned and completed during this time.


The goal is to deliver a potentially shippable product increment.


b. Sprint Planning

Held at the beginning of the Sprint.


Team and Product Owner decide what work will be done and how it will be completed.


c. Daily Scrum (Stand-up)

15-minute meeting held each day.


Team members share:


What they did yesterday


What they will do today


Any blockers or issues


d. Sprint Review

Held at the end of the Sprint.


The team demonstrates what they built.


Stakeholders give feedback.


e. Sprint Retrospective

Held after the Sprint Review.


Team reflects on the process and discusses improvements.


3. Scrum Artifacts

a. Product Backlog

An ordered list of all desired features, changes, fixes, etc.


Managed by the Product Owner.


b. Sprint Backlog

A subset of the Product Backlog selected for the current Sprint.


Owned by the Development Team.


c. Increment

The usable, potentially shippable output of a Sprint.


Must meet the Definition of Done.


4. Definition of Done (DoD)

A clear agreement on what “done” means for a task or product.


Ensures consistency and quality.
