SCRUM

Scrum is one of the processes of Agile Methodologies. It is a lightweight process framework for agile development, and the most commonly used methodology. A “process framework” is a particular set of practices which should be followed  for a process to be on right path with

the framework. “Lightweight” is nothing but the overhead of the process is kept as small as possible, to increase the amount of productive

 time available for getting the useful work done at priority.

A Scrum process is differentiated from other agile processes by unique abstracts and exercises, divided into the

 three categories. They are

1.Roles

2.Artifacts

3.Time Boxes

These are other words which are used in Scrum. Scrum is most often used to manage complicate software and product development, using frequentative and incremental practices.
