basis for adaptation
each artifact contains a commitment to ensure what?
it provides information that enhances transparency and focus against which progress can be measured
each artifact contains a commitment to ensure it provides information that enhances transparency and focus against which progress can be measured. what is the the commitment for the product backlog?
the product goal
each artifact contains a commitment to ensure it provides information that enhances transparency and focus against which progress can be measured. what is the commitment for the spring backlog?
the sprint goal
each artifact contains a commitment to ensure it provides information that enhances transparency and focus against which progress can be measured. what is the commitment for the increment?
the definition of done
each artifact contains a commitment to ensure it provides information that enhances transparency and focus against which progress can be measured. why do these commitments exist?
to reinforce empiricism and the scrum values for the scrum team and their stakeholders

scrum artifact, product backlog:
it is the single source of work undertaken by who?
the scrum team

product backlog items that can be done by done by who within what are deemed ready for the selection in a sprint planning event?
that can be done by the scrum team within one sprint
scrum artifact, product backlog:
product backlog items that can be done by the scrum team within one sprint are deemed ready for selection in a sprint planning event. they usually acquire what?
a degree of transparency after refining activities
scrum artifact, product backlog:
product backlog refinement is the act of what?
breaking down and further defining product backlog items into smaller more precise items
scrum artifact, product backlog:
product backlog refinement is a what kind of activity?
an ongoing activity
scrum artifact, product backlog:
product backlog refinement is an ongoing activity to add details such as…[3]
- description

scrum artifact, product backlog:
the attributes of product backlog refinement often vary with that?
the domain of work
scrum artifact, product backlog:
the developers who will be doing the work are responsible for what?
the sizing
scrum artifact, product backlog:
the PO may influence the developers by doing what?
helping them understand and select trade-offs
scrum artifact, product backlog, commitment - product goal:
what does the product goall describe?
a future state of the product which can serve as a target for the scrum team to plan against
scrum artifact, product backlog, commitment - product goal:
the product goal is in what?
the product backlog
scrum artifact, product backlog, commitment - product goal:
the product goal is in the product backlog. the rest of the product backlog emerges to define…?
“what” will fulfil the product goal
scrum artifact, product backlog, commitment - product goal:
what is a product(quote)
A product is a vehicle to deliver value. It has a clear boundary, known stakeholders, well-defined users or customers. A product could be a service, a physical product, or something more abstract
scrum artifact, product backlog, commitment - product goal:
the product goal is the ___ ___ ___, for who?
the long-term objective for the scrum team
scrum artifact, product backlog, commitment - product goal:
what must the scrum team do for one objective before moving on to the next?
fulfil or abandon one objective
scrum artifact, sprint backlog:
what is the sprint backlog composed of[3]?
- the sprint goal - why
- the set of product backlog items selected for the sprint - what
- an actionable plan for delivering the increment - how
scrum artifact, sprint backlog:
the sprint backlog is a plan by and for who?
the developers
scrum artifact, sprint backlog:
the sprint backlog is a highly ___, ___-___ picture of what?
highly visible, real-time picture of the work that the developers plan to accomplish during the sprint in order to achieve the sprint goal
scrum artifact, sprint backlog:
the sprint backlog is a highly visible, real-time picture of the work that the developers plan to accomplish during the sprint in order to achieve the sprint goal. consequently, as of when is the sprint backlog updated?
throughout the sprint as more is learned
scrum artifact, sprint backlog:
how much detail should the sprint backlog have?
enough that they can inspect their progress in the daily scrum
scrum artifact, sprint backlog, commitment - sprint goal:
the sprint goal is what?
the single objective for the sprint
scrum artifact, sprint backlog, commitment - sprint goal:
although the sprint goal is a commitment by the developers, what does it provide? in terms of what?
flexibility in terms of the exact work needed to achieve it
scrum artifact, sprint backlog, commitment - sprint goal:
what does the sprint goal create[2], and what does this encourage?
- coherence
- focus
- encouraging the scrum team to work together rather than on separate initiatives
scrum artifact, sprint backlog, commitment - sprint goal:
when is the sprint goal created, and what is it added to?
- created during the sprint planning event
- added to the sprint backlog
scrum artifact, sprint backlog, commitment - sprint goal:
as the developers work during the sprint, what is kept in mind?
the sprint goal
scrum artifact, sprint backlog, commitment - sprint goal:
as the developers work during the sprint, they keep the sprint goal in mind. if the work turns out to be different than they expected, what do they do?
they collaborate with the PO to negotiate the scope of the sprint backlog within the sprint
scrum artifact, sprint backlog, commitment - sprint goal:
as the developers work during the sprint, they keep the sprint goal in mind. if the work turns out to be different than they expected, they collaborate with the PO to negotiate the scope of the sprint backlog within the sprint. they do this without affecting what?
the sprint goal
scrum artifacts, increment:
what is this?
a concrete stepping stone towards to the product goal
scrum artifacts, increment:
each increment is ___ to all ___ increments and thoroughly ___, ensuring what..?
- additive, prior, verified
- ensuring that all increments work together
scrum artifacts, increment:
in order to provide value, the increment must be what?
usable
scrum artifacts, increment:
how many increments may be created within a sprint
multiple
scrum artifacts, increment:
when is the sum of the increments presented? thus supporting what?
at the sprint review thus supporting empiricism
scrum artifacts, increment:
however, an increment may be delivered to stakeholders when?
prior to the end of the sprint
scrum artifacts, increment:
the sprint review should never be considered as what?
a gate to releasing value
scrum artifacts, increment:
work cannot be considered part of an increment unless what?
it meets the definition of done
scrum artifacts, increment, commitment - definition of done:
what is the DoD?
a formal description of the state of the increment when it meets the quality measures required for the product
scrum artifacts, increment, commitment - definition of done:
at what moment is an increment “born”?
when a product backlog item meets the definition of done
scrum artifacts, increment, commitment - definition of done:
how des the DoD, create transparency?
by providing everyone a shared understanding of what work was completed as part of the increment
scrum artifacts, increment, commitment - definition of done:
if a product backlog item does not meet the DoD, what does this mean?
it cannot be released or even presented at the sprint review
scrum artifacts, increment, commitment - definition of done:
if a product backlog item does not meet the DoD, it cannot be released or even presented at the sprint review. what happens instead?
it returns to the product backlog for future consideration
scrum artifacts, increment, commitment - definition of done:
when must the DoD for an increment be followed as a minimum?
if the DoD of the increment is part of the standards of the organisation
scrum artifacts, increment, commitment - definition of done:
if the DoD for an increment is not on organisational standard, what must the scrum team do?
create a definition of done appropriate for the product
scrum artifacts, increment, commitment - definition of done:
who is required to conform to the definition of done?
the developers
scrum artifacts, increment, commitment - definition of done:
what happens if there are multiple scrum teams working together on a product?
they must mutually define and comply with the same definition of done
