• It is a team-based approach to iteratively, incrementally develop systems and products when requirements are rapidly changing
• Scrum is a process that controls the chaos of conflicting interests and needs.
• It is a way to improve communications and maximize co-operation.
• Scrum is a way to detect and cause the removal of anything that gets in the way of developing and delivering products.
• Scrum is a way to maximize productivity.
• Scrum is scalable from single projects to entire organizations. Scrum is a way for everyone to feel good about their job, their contributions, and that they have done the very best they possibly could.
