A Scrum is commonly done while playing Rugby.
The Scrum Development Method is a way to channel the combined effort of a team as effectively and efficiently as possible. The effort the the team is directed by the Product Owner and Managed by the Scrum Master. Scrum is a social agreement to be empirical as a team in pursuit of a goal as directed by the Product Owner. The scrum master manages in the sense that they support and help the team but, they do not assign work and tell the team. The team is the engine and it is assumed they are self motivated and self organizing. Without the product owner providing direction the team has little chance in doing this well or right. Applied scrum is necessary for true mastery of the technique. Scrum when it is done well results in a well formed team that can be directed at any area of complexity to build new capabilities or solve problems. Well formed teams are vital business assets and should be treated as such.
In Scrum product development, there is a roll called the ScrumMaster. The ScrumMaster is similar to a "good definition" of project manager but, the word PM is so overloaded and poorly understood that we have found it necessary to steer completely away from this poisoned word. So, what is a ScrumMaster? One who uses the Scrum framework, by focusing on facilitation, leadership, report building and communication in place of prescribed command as process control. The role for this "agile project manager" is called "ScrumMaster". We like this role name because it is a constant reminder of the differences between agile and traditional project management. The ScrumMaster's primary goal is removing the impediments that stand in the way of focused product development.
