Scrum in under 10 Minutes

December 16, 2008

Scrum (or sometimes SCRUM) represents an agile development methodology. It works with a product backlog that contains all features that should be implemented for a product. This backlog is then partitioned into iterations, called sprints, which typically range from some days to about a month of work. The goal after each sprint is to have a working and hopefully bug-free increment of the product.

Hamid Shojaee made an 8 minute video in which he explains the main concepts of Scrum. Although being a bit fast-paced, the video is quite interesting and also visually very enjoyable.

The video explains the different kinds of backlogs, the sprints, standup meetings, and burndown charts, which seem like a nice tool for visualizing the project progress and estimating the remaining effort.

Watch the video below or the HD version on youtube.
