What are Agile and Scrum?

A lightweight framework for delivering work iteratively — the official Scrum Guide definition.

What it means

Per the official Scrum Guide, "Scrum is a lightweight framework that helps people, teams and organizations generate value through adaptive solutions for complex problems." Scrum is one popular way to work in an Agile style — iterative, collaborative, and frequently delivering.

These ways of working show up across software and tech-operations teams, which is why project-management credentials (e.g., CompTIA Project+, PMI) and Scrum certifications reference them.
