Working Process/ Scrum Artifacts

Scrum Project: A scrum project is triggered by a product vision
compiled by the product owner
Product Backlog: The product owner enlist the requirements in the
Product Backlog
Scrum Team: A Scrum Team is composed of a several (4-5) team
members, one of which is a Scrum Master
Sprints: Scrum structures product development in cycles of work
called Sprints
Sprint Planning Meeting: The Sprint Planning meeting takes place
at the beginning of each Sprint
Sprint Backlog: In the meeting, the Scrum Team and the Product
Owner review the Product Backlog and select the items from the
Product Backlog to be completed by the end of the Spring. Selected
items is designed and then broken down into a set of individual tasks,
which is captured in the Sprint Backlog

Daily Scrum Meeting: Everyday the Scrum member meet once

(preferably in the morning for 15 minutes) to discuss the progress,
difficulties etc.
Sprint Review: After a Sprint ends, in the Sprint Review meeting,
the Scrum Team and stakeholders inspect what was done during the
Sprint, discuss it, and plan for the next Sprint
Sprint Retrospective Following the Sprint Review, the team meets
for the Sprint Retrospective which is an opportunity for the team to
discuss what’s working and what’s not working, and agree on changes
to try.

Time Management of a Sprint

Sprints in scrum can be as long as you want; however, it’s most
common for sprint length to be between 1 and 4 weeks
The Sprint Planning Meeting should be timeboxed to four hours for a
four-week Sprint and two hours for a two-week Sprint
Sprint Daily Meeting should not be more than 15 minutes
