Question 1

What is Scrum, and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Scrum is a structured, agile framework designed to help break down big goals into manageable tasks. It follows a two-week "Sprint" cycle where participants commit to specific tasks, check in daily for accountability, and review progress at the end to make improvements for the next cycle.
