The Scrum Framework

The Scrum framework consists of several key elements:

1. Product Backlog: A prioritized list of features, enhancements, and bug fixes that need to be incorporated into the product or project.
2. Sprint Planning: The process of selecting items from the Product Backlog to be worked on in the current sprint.
3. Sprint: A time-boxed period (usually 2-4 weeks) during which the team works on delivering the selected items from the Product Backlog.
4. Daily Scrum: A short stand-up meeting held daily to sync up the team and discuss progress, challenges, and plans.
5. Sprint Review: A meeting at the end of each sprint where the team presents the work completed and gathers feedback from stakeholders.
6. Sprint Retrospective: A meeting held at the end of each sprint to reflect on the process and identify areas of improvement.
