How does Scrum work?

[Ehsanuls55]

Let's say you're developing a recipe app for Gordon Ramsay.

You could spend months planning and building it only to find out that Chef Ramsay isn't happy with the final product. Even though you've given it a ton of features, you haven't quite nailed it.

Because?

I wanted to feature their signature dishes, like spaghetti bolognese, on the app’s Home screen, which you didn’t manage to do despite all your planning.

And now you have to deal with a disgruntled Gordon ( good luck with that! ).

But if you had followed the agile approach to software development , you could have kept Chef Gordon happy.

As?

You develop the app in steps, asking the chef for feedback after each phase and making any communication directors email lists necessary changes before the next version.

What's the score?

An ecstatic Gordon who could even cook you pasta

What else do I need to know about Agile Scrum? Scrum can help you divide your project into different sprints as if you were chopping onions.
cool, right?

But sprints are just the tip of this huge iceberg called Scrum.

You also have several meetings, team roles and Scrum Artifacts !

Let's do a quick overview of these elements.

*Note: For each element, we have a detailed description in the Scrum Guide * that will help you understand these concepts quickly. If you feel like reading something else, feel free to check them out.

1. Scrum Meeting
Scrum defines a set of meetings to help Scrum Teams inspect and adapt their processes. It includes:

Sprint Planning – Planning meeting held before the start of each Scrum sprint
Daily Scrum Meetings – A regular Scrum meeting held to discuss what to do the next day
Sprint Review sprint Review /%href/ : Meeting held after each Scrum sprint to demonstrate the final product to stakeholders
Sprint Retrospective : Scrum meeting held after a sprint to identify what to change in the next sprint
