•Agile entails: Automation, Tool usage, Integrated testing, Flexibility, Collaborative culture, Improved Quality, Small teams collaborating

What is Scrum?

•Scrum is an Agile software development framework. Work is structured in cycles of work called sprints, iterations of work that are typically two to four weeks in duration.

•During each sprint, teams pull from a prioritized list of customer requirements, called user stories, so that the features that are developed first are of the highest value to the customer.

•At the end of each sprint, a potentially shippable product is delivered.
