It is a project management tool for allocating resources and estimating tasks.

Like any project management tool it is a TOOL and can be useful but if it gets into the hands of control freaks then it becomes an end in itself.

At the Job From Hell we had scrums every day and got little done (at least while I was there). Here we have them every 2-3 weeks and yet we manage to complete many projects.

So then a scrum is something like an information exchange meeting between members of different departments to make sure everyone has their shit together?
