What is Scrum?

Scrum is a way to manage projects that helps teams work better together. It uses a set of rules and practices to organize work and encourages teams to learn from their experiences, solve problems on their own, and keep improving.

While it's often used by software development teams, any group can use scrum to work more efficiently. It includes regular meetings, specific tools, and defined roles to help teams stay organized and productive.

What is Sprint?

In project management, a sprint is a short, set period where a team works to finish a certain amount of tasks. Sprints are a key part of scrum and agile methods. Doing sprints well helps teams create better software with fewer problems.

With scrum, a product is built in stages called sprints. These sprints break big projects into smaller, manageable parts.

What is backlog?

A product backlog is a to-do list for the development team, organized by priority. The most important tasks are at the top, so the team knows what to work on first. The team chooses tasks from this list based on their capacity, working at their own pace, either continuously (kanban) or in set periods (scrum), rather than having tasks assigned to them.
