• Product Owner: The Product Owner is responsible for maintaining this list and revising priorities for
items as the project progresses and the business environment changes. The Product Owner is
responsible for the success of the product. He or she defines the features and release schedule and
is responsible for determining the business value of the various features. The Product Owner
• Scrum Master: The ScrumMaster manages the Scrum process, ensuring that the Scrum practices
are properly executed and that Scrum values are understood by the team members. He or she
ensures that the team is fully productive by eliminating impediments and shielding them from
outside interference.
Sprints
• Agile projects are broken down into sprints or iterations.
• A sprint is a short, time-boxed period when a scrum team works to
complete a set amount of work.
• Time duration of 3 to 4 week.
Definition of Ready
• Definition of ready is a working agreement between the team and
product owner on what readiness means. It is an input criterion to
plan a story in a sprint.
Scrum Artifacts:
• Product Backlog: Requirements are documented as items in the Product Backlog. This is one of
the most important artifacts in a scrum project. It is a prioritized list of all desired work or
features for the project.
• Sprit Backlog: The Scrum team and Scrum Master hold a Sprint Planning meeting at the start of
each sprint. At this meeting, the product owner presents the features from the Product Backlog
that are most desired for the upcoming sprint, describing them so that the team can grasp what
is expected. The product owner and team agree on a goal for the sprint. This is essentially a
vision statement focused on the work for the next two to four weeks. The team then
determines how to accomplish the sprint goal and breaks the features down into the tasks
required. This list of tasks becomes the Sprint Backlog.
• Sprint Burndown chart: As items from the Product Backlog are selected for
completion during the sprint planning meeting, they become part of a Sprint
Backlog. As mentioned previously, the Sprint Backlog contains specific tasks
associated with the features from the Product Backlog. During the sprint, the
status of the work items in the Sprint Backlog is updated daily. The updated
status makes it possible to generate a Sprint Burndown chart. This chart is a
graphical display of the amount of work remaining in the project. It is also
common for it to include an "ideal" line that indicates a smooth progression of
the work from start to finish of the sprint. The ideal line indicates how work
would progress if even proportions of it are completed each day of the sprint.
• Impediment List: When there are impediments or blocks to progress, the scrum
master might maintain an Impediments List as an additional scrum artifact.
An Impediment is anything that keeps the Team from getting work Done and that
slows Velocity.
• Product Increment: The Product Increment is the sum of all
the Product Backlog items completed during a Sprint and the value of
the increments of all previous Sprints. At the end of a Sprint, the
new Increment must be “Done,” which means it must be in useable
condition and meet the Scrum Team's definition of “Done”
• Product Increment is the combination of all the completed list of
Product Backlog items during the sprint. Product Increment keeps
getting incremented in the subsequent sprints.
• Sprint Retrospective: The Scrum Team inspects how the last Sprint went with regards
to individuals, interactions, processes, tools, and their Definition of Done. ... They may
even be added to the Sprint Backlog for the next Sprint. The Sprint
Retrospective concludes the Sprint. It is timeboxed to a maximum of three hours for a
one-month Sprint.
• The sprint retrospective is usually the last thing done in a sprint. Many teams will do it
immediately after the sprint review. The entire team, including both the ScrumMaster
and the product owner should participate. You can schedule a scrum retrospective for
up to an hour, which is usually quite sufficient.
