means A tightly packed huddle of people pushing toward the same goal, whether that's a rugby ball or a software sprint goal.

from Short for 'scrummage,' a 19th-century variant of 'scrimmage,' from rugby football, where it names the formation of players bound together, heads down, shoving for the ball. The word got borrowed in the 1990s by the 'Scrum' software development framework, which liked the image of a team locked together and moving as one — though in meeting rooms the shoving tends to be purely verbal.
