What is Scrum?

Scrum is an iterative, incremental process for developing any product or managing any work. It produces a potentially shippable set of functionality at the end of every iteration. It's attributes are:

• Scrum is an agile process to manage and control development work.
• Scrum is a wrapper for existing engineering practices.

We're trying to implement Scrum at work. Actually...we're implementing Scrum of Scrums, which is 10 times harder than simply implementing Scrum for a single team. I have experience implementing Scrum and XP, and recently got my ScrumMaster certification (plug: Mishkin Berteig is an awesome trainer, highly recommended) so that I would at least have a fresh and clear understanding of the scrum process, and how I could help to grease the wheels at work.
