How Would You Describe Scrum in a Nutshell?

Split your organization
- Small, cross-functional, self-organizing teams
- Split your work
- Small, concrete deliverables
- Assign someone to be responsible for the work item list and to sort the list by priority
- Assign someone to be responsible for coaching and facilitating the team
- Implementation team estimates the relative size of each work item
Split time
- Short fixed-length iterations (Usually 2 Weeks long, but Between 1 – 4 weeks)
- Potentially shippable solutions demonstrated after each iteration
Optimize the release plan
- Update priorities in collaboration with the customer, based on insights gained by inspecting the release after each iteration
Optimize the process
- Retrospective after each iteration
