Scrum is an agile framework that, if applied properly, can boost the efficiency of teamwork. It is known to be versatile enough, so it could be applied in basically any sort of productive teamwork, even beyond IT (e.g. bakeries, government organizations, etc.)

However, I've never ever seen it being used anywhere else other than in software development, therefore I've always been curious if Scrum is actually being used outside of IT somewhere.

I do two scrum-style a week and go daily if we're busy. Team of 5, I set the time limit to 3 mins which means we're realistically done in 4-5. I'll also sometimes do sprint-style stuff for quick turnover projects with 2+. Usually this is a big chunk of analytics or report that needs to get done, so it's best to break apart the requirements and designate people that specialise at different parts onto each job. I also use digital boards for projects and larger tasks since there can be a lot going on at once. This helps me clear blockers and re-prioritise upcoming tasks or redesignate someone's capacity to assisting with other tasks if need.

My fav part is the team having everything cleared and all that's left is blockers I've already actioned for movement. If anyone asks why we're idle and doing a jigsaw puzzle or personal development, I can just show the board. The transparency is sweet justice for senior management which are often involved in the blocks.

I make sure to not go full agile because it's just not really compatable. I pluck the basic parts and the general concept and use what works and ignore what won't.
