What is Scrum?

• Scrum is an iterative incremental process of
  software development commonly used with agile
  software development
• Agile software development focuses on keeping
  code simple, testing often, and delivering
  functional bits of the application as soon as
  they're ready. The goal of ASD is to build upon
  small client-approved parts as the project
  progresses, as opposed to delivering one large
  application at the end of the project.
