What is Scrum?

Scrum is a framework that helps teams work together. Much like a rugby team (where it gets its name) training for the big game, scrum encourages teams to learn through experiences, self-organize while working on a problem, and reflect on their wins and losses to continuously improve. While the scrum I'm talking about is most frequently used by software development teams, its principles and lessons can be applied to all kinds of teamwork.
