Scrum is a part of Agile, while Agile is a larger umbrella that consists of other methodologies also.
Agile was derived because of the problems caused by the traditional Waterfall method used in software development. The waterfall method was too sequential and to avoid that Agile was invented. The agile process enjoys the flexibility and adapting to the changing requirements. Agile always included the customer in the process of development by getting consistent feedback. This reduced the risk of low acceptance of the product at the final stage from the customer side as well. Agile is shapeless since it doesn’t have any structure. All the members in Agile shares equal responsibility in sharing the success and failures. It’s a collective effort in Agile methodology.
Scrum is an improved way of Agile Methodology. It shares the same principles and values as Agile while adding its own unique features. Scrum methodology has two new mandatory roles: Product Owner and Scrum Master. Product owners always communicate with the client to get the requirements and feedbacks, it helps to turn the client wishes into product features. The scrum master is the person who is responsible for the coordination of the Scrum team’s activities. It is a highly successful and widely used agile approach with multiple benefits.
So, what we can conclude from the above discussion is that both Agile and Scrum are formed from the same idea of providing a flawless experience to the customer in the software development cycle, but it depends on the type of project, budget, time and feasibility to choose which one apt for the project we are working on. Both cannot be substituted with each other, Agile is more preferred for an aggressive approach compared to Scrum.
