8 hours or less
How long should daily scrum be
15 minutes or less
How long should sprint review be
4 hours or less
How long should sprint retrospective be
3 hours or less
Scrum
A framework within which people can address complex adaptive problems, while
productively and creatively delivering products of the highest possible value
Scrum employs an
iterative, incremental approach to optimize predictability and control risk.
Scrum is founded on
empirical process control theory, or empiricism
Empiricism asserts that
knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is known.
Three pillars uphold every implementation of empirical process control:
Transparency, inspection, adaptation
Transparency
Significant aspects of the process must be visible to those responsible for the outcome.
In transparency
A common language referring to the process must be shared by all participants; and,
Those performing the work and those inspecting the resulting increment must share a
common definition of "Done".
inspection
Scrum users must frequently inspect Scrum artifacts and progress toward a Sprint Goal to detect
undesirable variances
, Adaptation
If an inspector determines that one or more aspects of a process deviate outside acceptable
limits, and that the resulting product will be unacceptable, the process or the material being
processed must be adjusted. An adjustment must be made as soon as possible to minimize
further deviation.
Scrum prescribes four formal events for inspection and adaptation
Sprint planning, daily scrum, sprint review, sprint retrospective
Successful use of Scrum depends on people becoming more proficient in living these five values.
commitment, courage, focus, openness and respect
The Scrum Team consists of
a Product Owner, the Development Team, and a Scrum Master.
Scrum teams deliver products
iteratively and incrementally, maximizing opportunities for
feedback.
Incremental deliveries of a done product ensure
a potentially useful version of
working product is always available.
Product backlog management includes
Clearly expressing Product Backlog items;
• Ordering the items in the Product Backlog to best achieve goals and missions;
• Optimizing the value of the work the Development Team performs;
• Ensuring that the Product Backlog is visible, transparent, and clear to all, and shows what
the Scrum Team will work on next; and,
• Ensuring the Development Team understands items in the Product Backlog to the level
needed.
The Product Owner may manage the product backlog or have the Development Team do it. However,
the
Product Owner remains accountable
True
The product owner is
A person, not a committee
The development team consists of
professionals who do the work of delivering a potentially releasable Increment of "Done" product at the
end of each Sprint.
