# Increment https://scrumguides.org/scrum-guide.html#increment An Increment (often also named Product Increment) in [[Scrum]] is a concrete step towards achieving the Product Goal. Each Increment builds upon previous ones and must be thoroughly verified to ensure they work together seamlessly. To provide value, an Increment must be usable. This concept is part of the [[Scrum]] framework developed by Jeff Sutherland and Ken Schwaber.
