Concepts in this domain
01Empiricism and the three pillarsScrum is founded on empiricism and lean thinking. Transparency, inspection and adaptation are the pillars that make empirical process control work.02The Scrum TeamOne team of ten or fewer people, with three accountabilities and no sub-teams or hierarchies, responsible for all product-related activities.03The Product Owner accountabilityOne person, accountable for maximising the value of the product resulting from the work of the Scrum Team, and for effective Product Backlog management.04The SprintA fixed-length event of one month or less that contains all the other events, and the container in which ideas turn into value.05Sprint PlanningThe event that starts a Sprint, timeboxed to a maximum of eight hours for a one-month Sprint, addressing three topics.06The Sprint GoalThe single objective for one Sprint, the Sprint Backlog's commitment, and the only thing in a Sprint the Developers actually promise.07The Product BacklogAn emergent, ordered list of what is needed to improve the product, and the single source of work undertaken by the Scrum Team.08The IncrementA concrete stepping stone toward the Product Goal, additive to all prior Increments and verified to work together with them.09The Definition of DoneThe shared standard for what "finished" means, a commitment to the Increment, and the thing that stops undone work accumulating invisibly.Try a question from this domain
