The 5th Ave Consulting Scrum Project Management Method:

Scrum is an iterative, incremental framework for project management often seen in agile software or product development. The Scrum approach was originally suggested for managing product development projects and it can be used to run project maintenance teams or as a general project management approach.

Scrum is a process skeleton that contains sets of practices and predefined roles. The main roles in Scrum are:

• the "ScrumMaster", who maintains the processes (typically in lieu of a project manager)
• the "Product Owner", who represents the stakeholders and the business
• the "Team", a cross-functional group who do the actual analysis, design, implementation, testing, etc.

Sprint
A sprint is the basic unit of development in Scrum. Sprints tend to last between one week and one month, and are a "timeboxed" (i.e. restricted to a specific duration) effort of a constant length.

Each sprint is preceded by a planning meeting, where the tasks for the sprint are identified and an estimated commitment for the sprint goal is made, and followed by a review or retrospective meeting, where the progress is reviewed and lessons for the next sprint are identified. During each sprint, the team creates a potentially deliverable product increment (for example, working and tested software). 

Product backlog
The product backlog is a high-level list that is maintained throughout the entire project. It aggregates backlog items: broad descriptions of all potential features, prioritized as an absolute ordering by business value.

Sprint backlog
The sprint backlog is the list of work the team must address during the next sprint. The list is derived by selecting stories/features from the top of the product backlog until the team feels they have enough work to fill the sprint.
