Some key differences between the two include the timeline, team structure, and focus on customer input. The following table summarizes some of the key differences.

Characteristic	Agile	Scrum
Overview	Agile as a flexible, iterative approach to project management that is based on the values and principles outlined in the Agile Manifesto.	Scrum is a framework that helps teams implement the agile methodology and includes specific roles, events, and artifacts.
Scope	Agile is an umbrella term that covers a wide range of approaches.	​​Scrum is a more detailed and specific guideline for managing projects.
Feedback Loops	​Agile offers constant feedback and updates.	Scrum uses short iterations called Sprints.
Management	Agile teams are cross-functional and led by a manager.	​Scrum teams are self-organizing with specific roles such as the Product Owner and Scrum Master.

The choice between agile and Scrum depends on the team, organization, and project, and factors to consider may include the importance of client input, the need for speed, and the complexity of the project.
