Scrum is:

  • Lightweight

  • Simple to understand

  • Difficult to master

Scrum Alliance®, along with Scrum Inc., and Scrum.org endorse and support of The Scrum Guide because we believe this makes the most sense for the Scrum community. This Guide is based on the principles on which Scrum was founded and offers Scrum practitioners worldwide, a common standard and understanding of the foundations of Scrum.
