Scrum Definitions Flashcards
What is a Sprint?
In Scrum, a Sprint is a fixed timebox during which the Scrum Team works to create a potentially releasable Increment of the product.
Explain Sprint Planning
Sprint Planning addresses 3 topics (why, what, and how);
1) Why is the Sprint valuable?
2) What can be done this Sprint?
3) How will the chosen work get done?
By the end of the Sprint Planning event, the Scrum Team should have a shared understanding of the work to be accomplished during the Sprint. The Development Team has a clear plan and commitment to delivering the Increment, and the Product Owner has an opportunity to discuss the priority of items and refine any necessary details.
What is the purpose of the Daily Scrum?
The purpose of the Daily Scrum is to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal and update the Sprint Backlog as necessary, adjusting the upcoming planned work.
Explain the Sprint Review
The Scrum Team and stakeholders review what was accomplished in the Sprint and what has changed in their environment. Based on this information, attendees collaborate on what to do next.
What is the Sprint Retrospective?
If the Sprint Review is an extroverted event for presenting the work done and accepting feedback and praise from stakeholders, then the Sprint Review is an introspective event for the Scrum Team to focus on their internal dynamics, communication and areas for improvement. Due to its nature as a more introspective event, it is generally considered best practice to limit the presence of external stakeholders, such as management or clients, during the retrospective.
As a Scrum Master I’d want to keep the team focused on discussing internal dynamics and identifying ways to improve collaboration, communication and productivity.
What is a Scrum Artifact?
Scrum defines 3 primary artifacts:
1) Product Backlog
2) Sprint Backlog
3) Increment
What is the Product Backlog?
The Product Backlog is an essential artifact in Scrum that represents an ordered list of all the work that needs to be done to deliver a product. It serves as a dynamic and evolving document that captures the requirements, features, enhancements, bug fixes, and other items necessary to fulfill the product vision.
Define Product within the Scrum framework
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.
What is the Sprint Backlog?
The Sprint Backlog is a subset of the Product Backlog items selected for a specific Sprint. It consists of the work that the Development Team has committed to delivering during the Sprint.
What is an Increment?
The Increment is the sum of all the Product Backlog items completed during a Sprint, as well as the integrated and tested increments from previous Sprints. It represents the work that is potentially releasable and provides a measurable and tangible outcome of the Development Team’s effort.
What is the Definition of Done?
the Definition of Done (DoD) is a shared understanding among the Scrum Team, including the Development Team, Product Owner, and Scrum Master, about what criteria must be met for a product backlog item to be considered complete and potentially shippable. It serves as a quality standard that ensures that the work delivered meets the agreed-upon requirements and is in a releasable state.
What is a Scrum Master?
The Scrum Master is a person who is accountable for establishing Scrum as defined in the Scrum Guide. They do this by helping everyone understand Scrum theory and practice, both within the Scrum Team and the organization.
What is a Product Owner?
The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team.
Who are the Developers?
Developers are the people in the Scrum Team that are committed to creating any aspect of a usable Increment each Sprint. The developers are the people who do actual work and create value during a Sprint.
What is a Scrum Team?
The Scrum Team consists of one Scrum Master, one Product Owner, and Developers. Within a Scrum Team, there are no sub-teams or hierarchies. It is a cohesive unit of professionals focused on one objective at a time, the Product Goal.
