Scrum Methodology

Scrum Master
The Scrum Master helps the Scrum Team perform at their highest level. They also protect the team from both internal and external distractions.

Product Owner
The Product Owner is expected to do the best possible job of satisfying all stakeholders, maintain the Product Backlog, and ensure that everyone knows the priorities.

The Development Team
Development Teams are structured and empowered to organize and manage their own work. The resulting synergy optimizes overall efficiency and effectiveness.

Backlog
The Product Backlog is an ordered list of everything that is known to be needed in a product. It is constantly evolving and is never complete.

The Sprint
The heart of Scrum is a Sprint, during which a useable and potentially releasable product Increment is created. Sprints can be one week to one month in length and happen one right after the other to keep projects moving. There are four events that happen with each Sprint:

• Sprint Planning – The Team decides what to work on for the current period.
• Daily Scrum – The Development Team meets for 15 minutes (or less) every day of the Sprint to inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal.
• Sprint Review – The Team collaborates about what was done and adapts the Backlog as needed.
• Sprint Retrospective – The Team discusses what went right, what went wrong, and how to improve.
