5 Scrum Myths - Busted

Myth 1 - Scrum is a Methodology
To bust this first myth, I would prefer to differentiate between the concepts of methodology and framework clearly.
Methodology
A specific methodology is a well-defined set of principles, concepts, tools, and associated practices that guide processes to meet a focused goal. The methodology is fundamentally more prescriptive.
Framework
On the other hand, a framework is a flexible yet incomplete structure that leaves space for different practices and related tools requisite for the overall process. Thus, a framework is, practically, less prescriptive.
People often refer to Scrum as Methodology.
Scrum is, from a practical point of view, not at all a methodology. Instead, professional scrum master focuses on the scientific implementation of empiricism. As a result, it strikes the chord between well-defined principles and associated practices in a balanced manner.
Self-Managing teams and their dedicated, collective intelligence form the basis of Scrum. The teams solve varieties of complex problems through a series of adaptive solutions.
