Overview
SCRUM is a development framework that follows the agile mindset for developing and sustaining products; while it was originally aimed around software development it can be used for other development and product manufacturing processes as well, for example development of circuits or hardware, and for embedded systems that can include aspects of both hardware design and interfacing in addition to the software development aspect. As mentioned on Wikipedia, SCRUM is applicable to practices of research, sales, marketing and advanced technologies. A major point is that it is designed for teams of size ten or fewer members, and pieces of work that can be focused on during the development Sprints.
Learning/Recap SCRUM
In the EE department at UCT the Design Course generally gives an explanation of SCRUM, goes into some details of its operation and how to plan and organize SCRUM development.
The following sites are recommended if you are newbie to using the SCRUM methodology, or need a refresher of the practice if it's been a while since you were actively engaged in a SCRUM project.
