Product Management Certification with Agile Product Owner and Scrum - What is Scrum?

The video tutorial explains Scrum, a framework for Agile development, contrasting it with the traditional Waterfall method. Scrum breaks the process into smaller, manageable sprints, each lasting one to three weeks, allowing for continuous improvement and adaptation. Key roles include the Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Team, each contributing to the development process. Scrum artifacts like the Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, and Burndown Chart help track progress. Ceremonies such as Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, and Sprint Review ensure effective communication and process improvement. The workflow involves iterative cycles until the product is ready for market launch.
