Scrum is an iterative incremental process of software development commonly used with agile software development.
Several roles are defined in Scrum; these are divided into two groups; pigs and chickens, based on a joke about a pig and a chicken..
A pig and a chicken are walking down a road. The chicken looks at the pig and says, "Hey, why don't we open a restaurant?" The pig looks back at the chicken and says, "Good idea, what do you want to call it?" The chicken thinks about it and says, "Why don't we call it 'Ham and Eggs'?" "I don't think so," says the pig, "I'd be committed but you'd only be involved."
So the pigs are committed to building software regularly and frequently, while everyone else is a chicken: interested in the project but really irrelevant because if it fails they're not a pig, that is they weren't the ones that committed to doing it. The needs, desires, ideas and influences of the chicken roles are taken into account, but not in any way letting it affect or distort or get in the way of the actual Scrum project

The software is being built for someone! If software is not used - much like 'the tree falling in a forest' riddle - was it ever written?

Wah! its truly techincally twisting!
too gud.
Keep 'em coming.
Yep..
it is true...
my experience with scrum is disastrous...
QA waiting for the build and called it as a blocker issue and coders never confiedent tht their code s working..so even they are blocked...Ultimately it is a loss of money time and people's confiedence on the scrum process....
By the way.. scrum methodology requires a team mature enough for handling Testing as well as coding which is an idea not mature in indian market I guess!!!!
@Tarik: Now that's your version of experience with Scrum. There are many success stories as well, and its tried..tested..implemented successfully :)
