Scrum is by far the most popular method used today by the world's Agile project management teams, and is also one of the most rigid in terms of recommended practices and procedures.

Scrum project management is a unique way of managing work in an agile environment. You can certainly add value to the Scrum team as a project manager, and that starts with understanding how Scrum works, the artifacts and team roles.

At the heart of agile project management with scrum is the Agile iterative cycle called the Sprint, which is supported by different types of project team "Roles", meetings called "Events", and documentation and tools called "Artifacts". Scrum is embraced by most organizations that not only want to implement Agile principles quickly on their projects, but are also interested in implementing Agile principles across their entire organization.
