Understanding Scrum Framework
📌 Scrum is defined as a framework, not a rigid process or method, that can incorporate various techniques within it.
🏗️ It is primarily used to solve complex and adaptive problems, making it suitable for flexible projects beyond just software development, such as creating new products (like cars or makeup), organizing events, or establishing new companies.
❌ In Scrum, there is no role called Project Manager; instead, facilitation and impediment removal are handled by the Scrum Master.

Scrum Team Roles and Responsibilities
🧑‍💼 The Product Owner (PO) determines priorities based on business needs and manages the Product Backlog.
💻 The Development Team (DT) is responsible for developing the product and works in an organized manner, with individual skills contributing to collective accountability.
⚙️ The Scrum Master (SM) facilitates adherence to Scrum values and practices while actively removing any obstacles hindering the team's progress.

Core Scrum Events and Workflow
🗓️ The central element is the Sprint, a time-boxed iteration, typically lasting a maximum of one month, to deliver a potentially shippable product increment.
📝 Sprint Planning involves defining the work to be done (Sprint Goal and Sprint Backlog) and lasts up to 8 hours for a one-month sprint.
🗣️ The Daily Scrum (or Daily Stand-up) is a 15-minute daily meeting (ideally standing) for the Development Team to synchronize activities and discuss progress toward the Sprint Goal.

Review and Improvement Cycles
✅ Sprint Review (up to 4 hours for a one-month sprint) is where the increment is demonstrated, and the team discusses what is "Done" based on the Definition of Done (DoD).
📈 The output of the Sprint Review includes a revised Product Backlog, informed by market conditions, budget, and team capability.
🔄 Sprint Retrospective (up to 3 hours for a one-month sprint) focuses on the *process*, discussing what went well, what needs improvement, and defining actionable steps for continuous improvement.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ The Daily Scrum emphasizes brevity (15 minutes) and standing up to encourage quick, to-the-point discussions, focusing on yesterday's work, today's plan, and identifying impediments.
➡️ The Burndown Chart is a crucial tool used daily during the Sprint to monitor the remaining work quantity, helping the team gauge their productivity rate.
➡️ Success in Scrum relies on clearly defining the Definition of Done (DoD) early on to ensure shared understanding of when work is truly complete before the Sprint Review.
