Last Updated: July 12, 2026 · SoftwareTestPilot QA Team
Official ISTQB Definition
An iterative, incremental framework for developing products in which work is done in fixed-length sprints by a self-organizing cross-functional team.
In simple words
The most common Agile framework — short sprints, daily standups, reviews and retros.
Exam tip
Scrum is a framework, not a methodology — it prescribes roles and events, not techniques.
