Why is it so Important to Keep the Scrum Flywheel Spinning?

In the world of Agile software development, Scrum has become one of the most popular frameworks for teams to organize their work. Scrum is centered around the concept of a "sprint," a set period of time during which a team works to complete a set of prioritized tasks or goals. However, Scrum is not just about completing individual sprints; it is also about maintaining momentum over the long term. This is where the concept of the "Scrum Flywheel" comes in.
