Scrum is an iterative incremental framework for managing complex work (such as new product development) commonly used with agile software development. Over 12,000 project managers have become certified to run Scrum projects. Since its origin on Japanese new product development projects in the 1980s, Scrum has become recognized as one of the best project management frameworks for handling rapidly changing or evolving projects. Especially useful on projects with lots of technology or requirements uncertainty, Scrum is a proven, scalable agile process for managing software projects.
