About Scrum: Overview

Scrum is a framework for implementing the principles

of agile project management.

It’s a way of executing a project that enables frequent

value delivery, plenty of collaboration between the

scrum project team and the stakeholders, and responds

positively and easily to changing requirements.

Scrum divides a project into a series of manageable

chunks called “sprints”. A sprint is a short cycle of

productivity between 1 and 4 weeks, with a goal of

delivering value to the customer or key stakeholders at

the end of each sprint.

Scrum is a way of working smarter, not harder!

Rapidly growing in popularity on a global scale

Universal application - suited to every industry

Flexible, team-centric approach to project management

Ability to react rapidly to change

Early delivery of product or service value

International certification options available
