Scrum is a project management methodology that focuses on delivering work incrementally through Development Sprints , which are short, time-boxed periods where the team builds specific features or tasks without extensive upfront planning or designing.
Builds the product incrementally, continuously improving until the entire product is complete.
Development Sprint​
A development sprint is a short, fixed period of time (mostly between 1-4 weeks) when team members focus on building a few features that become part of the product.
A development sprint starts with Sprint Planning .
After Sprint Planning , the Sprint begins.
During the workday, team members participate in the Daily Scrum .
Every sprint has to create something useful called Increments .
At the end of the development sprint, there will be a Sprint Review .
After the Sprint Review , the Scrum team holds a Sprint Retrospective to identify improvements.
