The current market requires flexibility, quality products, cost containment and fast release. As a consequence, the organizations need to abandon the old patterns (waterfall lifecycle) in favor of a more modern and agile approach. The Agile development is a process framework for managing teams and projects that focuses on continuous improvement, flexibility and commitment to the realization of quality products. Scrum is the most popular Agile approach. The Scrum development is realized through small iterations, called Sprints, by self-organized teams that include all the necessary competences. Every iteration releases a perfectly functioning product part that is also, if necessary, ready to use.
