The Core Scrum Team Product Owner Development Team Scrum Master Small enough to remain nimble and Large enough to complete significant work within a Sprint Self-organizing and cross-functional Scrum Teams deliver products iteratively and incrementally, maximizing opportunities for feedback

Product Owner Define the feature of the product Makes scope vs. schedule decisions Responsible for achieving financial goals of the project Prioritize and ranks the product backlog Adjust features and priority every sprint, as needed Accept or reject work results

Development Team Typically 5-9 people Cross-functional QA, Programmers, UI Designers, etc. Members should be full-time May be exceptions (e.g., System Admin, etc.) Teams are self-organizing Membership can change only between sprints

The Scrum Master Responsible for enacting Scrum values and practices Main job is to remove impediments

Product Backlog A list of all desired work for the project Ideally expressed such that each item has value to the users or customers of the product Prioritized by the product owner Team estimates items in Backlog relative to each other using predetermined scale (story points) Product Owner, with the help of the team, will continuously ‘groom’ or ‘review’ the backlog.

Sprints Scrum projects make progress in a series of “sprints” Target duration is 1-4 weeks A constant duration leads to a better rhythm Product is designed, coded, and tested during the sprint Product Backlog
