What is Scrum and what is the relationship between Scrum and Agile?

Scrum is an iterative and incremental Agile development methodology. Scrum may be viewed as an agile framework for developing software. Unlike many other software development methodologies, scrum does not provide a complete template or detailed description of what to do during software development. Scrum prescribes desired outcomes and leaves it to the agile scrum team to best determine how to solve the problems they encounter. Scrum may be used for both software development and software maintenance projects.

The term "scrum" is borrowed from an analogy put forth in a 1986 study by Takeuchi and Nonaka wherein they described a new holistic approach that would increase speed and flexibility in new product development. In that study, Takeuchi and Nonaka compare high-performing, cross-functional teams to the scrum formation used by rugby teams.
