Agile Methodology
Agile methodology is a process where development team and the testing team works together in the SDLC process.Agile methodology breaks the application into smaller builds.Here both the teams work concurrently unlike other methodology.


Scrum
Scrum is the process in which the main focus is to deliver the product in the shortest time possible.


Difference between Agile and Scrum


1) Agile methodology is an iterative and incremental approach whereas Scrum is the implementation of agile where builds are delivered to the customer very frequently.
2) Agile methodology is best suited for the projects who have expert development team but Scrum is used in the projects where requirement changes rapidly.
3) Leadership plays a vital role in this method but in Scrum, there are cross-functional and self-organising teams.
4) Agile methodology is flexible any changes can be done easily whereas Scrum is a rigid method.
5) In agile methodology is people of different teams can communicate face to face, in Scrum, there is a daily stand up meeting between scrum master, product owner and team members.
6) Agile delivers product frequently for the end user feedback whereas in Scrum build is delivered to the customer after each sprint for their feedback.
7) Every step of Requirement analysis, design, development etc is monitored during the whole life cycle but in Scrum, a demo is created for the functionality review before every sprint
8) Project head is the person who takes care of all the tasks but there is no team leader is in Scrum.
9) Agile methodology always encourages feedback so that product becomes more useful for the users whereas in Scrum Daily Scrum meeting is done to review the work and for feedback.
10) In agile development, Design and it's execution is simple but in Scrum it is innovative
11) In agile product is delivered and updated regularly whereas in Scrum when current sprint tasks are done then the team will plan for the newsprint.
