Explanation

False. Scrum is a lightweight framework, not a methodology. It does not prescribe specific techniques, tools, or detailed step-by-step instructions for building software. Instead, it provides a structure - roles, events, and artifacts - within which teams can apply their own engineering practices and techniques. Calling Scrum a 'methodology' is a common misconception explicitly addressed in the Scrum Guide, which emphasizes that Scrum is intentionally incomplete and relies on teams to determine how best to accomplish the work.
