# Scrum

Arguably the most structured framework of the Agile methods, Scrum was first introduced in the 1986 as a way for “teams to work as a unit to reach a common goal,” according to its inventors Hirotaka Takeuchi and Ikujiro Nonaka. Scrum takes parts of Traditional and Agile project management ideas, and combines them for a structured yet flexible way to manage projects. Like Agile, Scrum breaks projects up into tasks that are completable on their own, and then assigns each a “sprint”?two to four-week slots of time dedicated to ship that phase of the project, with daily sprints to ship some part of that phase. It?s that focus on time that makes Scrum a bit more like TPM, bringing more structure to the Agile idea.
