This 6 minute video based on the Free SCRUMstudy Scrum
Body of Knowledge (SBOK Guide - 340 pages) provides a quick overview of Scrum (http://www.scrumstudy.com/scrum-in-six-minutes.asp)
A Scrum project involves a collaborative effort to create a new product, service, or other result as defined in the Project Vision Statement. Projects are impacted by constraints of time, cost, scope, quality, resources, organizational capabilities, and other limitations that make them difficult to plan, execute, manage, and ultimately succeed. However, successful implementation of the results of a finished project provides significant business benefits to an organization. It is therefore important for organizations to select and practice an appropriate project management methodology.
The Scrum cycle begins with a Stakeholder Meeting, during which the Project Vision is created. The Product Owner then develops a Prioritized Product Backlog which contains a prioritized list of business and project requirements written in the form of User Stories.

Scrum is one of the most popular Agile frameworks.
It is an adaptive, iterative, fast, flexible, and effective methodology
designed to deliver significant value quickly and throughout a project. Scrum
ensures transparency in communication and creates an environment of collective
accountability and continuous progress. The Scrum framework, as defined in the SBOK™ Guide, is structured in such a way
that it supports product and service development in all types of industries and
in any type of project, irrespective of its complexity.
A
key strength of Scrum lies in its use of cross-functional, self-organized, and
empowered teams who divide their work into short, concentrated work cycles
called Sprints. Figure below provides an overview of a Scrum project’s flow.The Scrum cycle begins with a Stakeholder Meeting, during which the Project Vision is created. The Product Owner then develops a Prioritized Product Backlog which contains a prioritized list of business and project requirements written in the form of User Stories.
Each
Sprint begins with a Sprint Planning Meeting during which high priority User
Stories are considered for inclusion in the Sprint. A Sprint generally lasts
between one and six weeks and involves the Scrum Team working to create
potentially shippable Deliverables or product increments. During the Sprint,
short, highly focused Daily Standup Meetings are conducted where team members
discuss daily progress. Toward the end of the print, a Sprint Review Meeting is
held during which the Product Owner and relevant stakeholders are provided a
demonstration of the Deliverables. The Product Owner accepts the Deliverables
only if they meet the predefined Acceptance Criteria. The Sprint cycle ends
with a Retrospect Sprint Meeting where the team discusses ways to improve
processes and performance as they move forward into the subsequent Sprint.
Scrum principles are the core guidelines for applying the
Scrum framework and should mandatorily be used in all Scrum projects. The six
Scrum principles presented in chapter 2 are:
1. Empirical Process
Control
2. Self-organization
3. Collaboration
4. Value-based
Prioritization
5. Time-boxing
6. Iterative Development Figure below illustrates the typical Scrum Organization structure
