People talking about Agile or Agile-like development might also talk about Scrum. Here's a bit digests from the specifications I came through:
For the term "Agile" as people normally say:
The Agile Movement (www.agilemethodology.org) notes that Agile is not in itself a methodology, but rather an alternative to traditional project management to try and help teams respond to unpredictability through incremental, iterative work cadences and empirical feedback. Agile methods are therefore alternatives to waterfall, or traditional sequential development.
So, how about Scrum?
Scrum is described as the most popular way of using Agile and Agile-like methods and has based its assumptions around that approach. The use of the term Agile and/or Agile-like is intended to imply that Customer may be more interested in the principles of Agile as tailored to the project, rather than in strict adherence to any particular form of Agile.
Scrum is an iterative and incremental agile software development framework for managing product development.
In simple words, Agile is a mindset and Scrum is a method.
To get scrum fully implemented and make the software development truly agile, companies might need to adopt the necessary changes in management style, organisation culture, running processes and way of executing projects.
