A Scrum project is broken down into multiple smaller sections that are worked on for around 2-4 weeks. This 2-4 week <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">time period<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> where you work on each project section is called a sprint.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summary: Scrum is a project management methodology. Sprints are not.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, sprints do constitute <\/span><b>a part <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of the Scrum methodology.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-what-is-the-difference-between-agile-and-scrum-\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is the Difference Between Agile And Scrum?<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Agile and Scrum are very similar, there are a few distinct differences. Scrum teams tend to be smaller, more experienced, and self-sufficient. Additionally, in Scrum, the Scrum master plays a coaching role as opposed to the more hands-on project manager role that you find in Agile.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This lends Scrum to be more applicable to complex software projects when compared to Agile,&nbsp; which is better suited to most other kinds of projects.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take a closer look at those <\/span><b>key <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">differences between <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agile<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Scrum:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"11-a-agile-vs-scrum-team-structure-\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agile vs Scrum<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Team Structure<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agile<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Scrum teams are very similar, their roles differ slightly.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"12-1-what-is-an-agile-team-\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Is An Agile team?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agile framework<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, teams are broken down into four<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> defined roles<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Product owners:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> communicate with the customers and relay their feedback<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Project managers:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> guide the project team\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Project team members:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> actually work on the project<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Project stakeholder:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> people that aren\u2019t actively involved in the project but whose inputs are valued.
