Can you explain what is meant by the Scrum methodology in project management?

Scrum is an agile project management methodology often used in software development. It is based on an iterative approach, where work is divided into short cycles — sprints (usually 2-4 weeks). Scrum has key roles: Product Owner (responsible for priorities and requirements), Scrum Master (ensures the process and assists the team), and the development team.

Main elements of Scrum:

• Product Backlog — a list of tasks and requirements, prioritized.
• Sprint — a fixed period during which the team completes a set of tasks from the backlog.
• Daily Stand-ups — short meetings for synchronization.
• Retrospective — analysis of the past sprint to improve the process.

Thus, Scrum helps organize team work, increase transparency, and adapt to changes in requirements.
