Scrum vs. Agile

Business / By / December 2, 2020

Agile is a methodology focused on lightweight software development cycles, with fast releases, iterations, and continuous improvements; Scrum is an adaptation of Agile but for achieving business objectives, through a set of rules and a team organized according to the Agile methodology principles. Therefore, Scrum is a business process built on top of Agile, a method originally built for software development.

It is a sub-group of agile also used in project management to improve startups’ productivity.
