Frequently Asked Questions
What is scrum?
The term scrum comes from the sport of rugby where team members huddle together at the beginning of a play (similar to american football). In a scrum, the project team convenes quickly and each team member answers three daily questions:
- What did you accomplish yesterday?
- What will you accomplish today?
- What is getting in your way?
ScrumDog's daily questions feature saves you time by tracking these daily scrum questions and hours spent on tasks.
What is agile development?
Agile development is a methodology created for building software by constantly adjusting to changing requirements. There are a lot of great resources on the web. Read the Wikipedia entry for Agile Software Development and the Agile Manifesto
