Introduction
A Scrum project requires joint involvement in creating a new service, product, or different result. Projects are affected by several major constraints such as time, cost, quality, resources, scope, and organizational capabilities. In addition, there are also other limitations that interfere with proper execution, planning, and management which has an impact on the final success of the project. Agile has several methods, however, Scrum is one of the most popular. The main features of this framework are iteration, adaptation, flexibility, and efficiency with the main focus being the rapid delivery of value throughout the project.

History
The story of Scrum began with an article published in 1896 by Hirotaka Takeuchi and Ikujiro Nonaka. The article is titled "The New New Product Development Game" and describes how companies such as Canon, Honda, and Fuji-Xerox have delivered the highest quality results using a team-based and scalable approach to all-inclusive product development strategy. The article highlights the importance of an independent, organized team and outlines the role of management in the development process. This work had a great impact on combining concepts into one whole, which initiated the present-day Scrum. To describe product development Nonaka and Takeuchi used the trope of rugby and Scrum: "The traditional sequential or “relay race” approach to product development ... may conflict with the goals of maximum speed and flexibility. Instead, a holistic or “rugby” approach—where a team tries to go the distance as a unit, passing the ball back and forth—may better serve today’s competitive requirements."
