Traditional development processes often resemble a relay race. A team of specialists completes tasks and hands them off to the next team. Scrum looks more like rugby: The term itself refers to the “scrimmage” once the ball is tossed. In this standard situation, the entire team moves shoulder-to-shoulder in one direction. Put in terms of an organization, it means cross-functional teams work together and self-organized in short time intervals on product segments in order to shorten the time-to-market.

A Tangible Product in a few Weeks

Scrum does not split the process into sequences; instead, it breaks down the product into individual pieces. The team is able to present a minimum viable product in a short period of time. This enables fast, specific feedback from the user and provides important insights for the continuing development process.
