Agile and Scrum Overview
Agile is a methodology focused on iterative, incremental delivery of value, while Scrum is a lightweight Agile framework with defined roles and ceremonies.
Scrum is simple to understand but difficult to master; it is designed to address complex project needs and deliver high-value products within time constraints.
Scrum teams work collaboratively, following a set of guidelines, roles, and best practices to solve problems creatively and efficiently.
Scrum Team Roles and Responsibilities
The Scrum team consists of a Scrum Master (SM), Product Owner (PO), and Development Team (including QA).
Scrum Master: Not a technical lead or manager, the SM is responsible for process adherence, team functionality, productivity, communication, and removing impediments.
Product Owner: Owns the product vision, interfaces with business stakeholders, manages the product backlog, defines acceptance criteria, and prioritizes what gets built and released.
Development Team: Includes developers and QA who implement features, complete technical tasks, and deliver user stories during each sprint. They communicate mainly with the PO for clarifications and status updates.
Scrum Artifacts
Product Backlog: Managed by the PO, this is an evolving, public list of product features, defects, technical work, and knowledge items with clear acceptance criteria and supporting documents.
Sprint Backlog: A subset of the Product Backlog chosen for completion in a sprint, consisting of prioritized user stories and tasks to be completed within the sprint timeframe.
Scrum Events (Ceremonies)
Sprint Planning: Team collaboratively selects user stories from the product backlog for the upcoming sprint, estimates effort, and clarifies acceptance criteria.
Daily Scrum (Stand-Up): A short (10–15 minute) daily meeting where team members share progress, plans, and impediments.
Sprint Review: Held at the end of the sprint, the team demonstrates completed work to stakeholders and collects feedback for future iterations. Achievements may be less, equal to, or greater than planned, depending on circumstances.
Decisions
