Scrum Series 1 -- Overview of Scrum

What is Scrum ?
Scrum is a lightweight process framework that is used to manage complex product development within which you can employ various process and techniques.
This framework consists of Scrum Teams and their associated Roles, Events, Artefacts and Rules.

Origin of Scrum
Scrum is an Agile Development model based on multiple small teams working in an intensive and interdependent manner. The term is named for the Scrum (or scrummage) formation in rugby, which is used to restart the game after an event that cause play to stop, such as an infringement.
Scrum employs real time decision making process based on actual events and information. This requires well trained and specialized teams capable of self-management, communication and decision making. The teams in the organization work together while constantly focusing on their common interests.
