What is Scrum?Scrum is an agile, lightweight process that can be used to manage and control software and product development using iterative, incremental practices. Wrapping existing engineering practices, including Extreme Programming and RUP, Scrum generates the benefits of agile development with the advantages of a simple implementation. Scrum significantly increases productivity and reduces time to benefits while facilitating adaptive, empirical systems development.
Conchango is building an MSF process template for Scrum. For more information, see: http://blogs.msdn.com/robcaron/archive/2005/07/12/438062.aspx
