A basic Sprint plan for Foodie Agritech using Agile and Scrum framework.

Agile is a methodology used for software development (and increasingly in other industries) that focuses on iterative progress, collaboration, and flexibility. It encourages:

Customer collaboration over rigid contract negotiation.

Responding to change instead of strictly following a plan.

Working software over comprehensive documentation.

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.

Agile breaks work down into small, manageable pieces and delivers work incrementally through frequent feedback loops, adapting quickly to changes or improvements.

Scrum Framework

Scrum is one of the most popular frameworks within Agile. It structures work into fixed-length iterations called Sprints, which usually last 2-4 weeks. The core Scrum elements are roles, artifacts, Stand-up and Sprint cycle.
