Agile is an entire set of methods and philosophies on project management. Agile is not necessarily superior to other management styles. It is intended for projects with processes that benefit from or require flexibility.

Scrum is a technique often used in agile workflows. It involves setting up tasks to be followed for a period of time and then evaluating at the end and deciding what to do for the next time segment. It is possible for scrum to be applied in a non-agile way.
