Scrum is an agile framework for managing product development. It involves self-organizing cross-functional teams who break their work into actions that can be completed within timeboxed iterations, called sprints, no longer than one month to build usable software. Key roles include the Product Owner who manages priorities from stakeholders, the Scrum Master who ensures Scrum is followed, and the Development Team. Artifacts include the Product Backlog of features, Sprint Backlog of tasks, and increments of functionality delivered each sprint. The process consists of sprints, daily stand-ups, sprint planning and review meetings, and retrospectives for continuous improvement.

11. Product Backlog - List of project requirements with estimates. This will change due to business andtechnology changes

12. Product Backlog Items areFunctional & Nonfunctionalrequirements and issues,which are prioritized inorder of importance

13. Sprint Backlog - A list of tasks that defines ateam’s work for a Sprint.

14. Sprint Backlog Task is one of the task team needs to execute to turn product backlog into working functionality

15. Process

16. Time box is a period of time in which a planned event or meeting occurs and cannot be exceeded.

17. Increment – Productfunctionality developedin various stages.Each iteration results in incremental development of functionality

18. Iteration is a cyclewithin a project.

19. Sprint Planning is a one-day meeting timeboxed to 8 hours that initiates every Sprint.

20. Sprint - A 30 calendar day time box, where teamdevelops product backlog items selected into a shippable product.

21. Burn Down Chart work remaining across time in asprint, a release, or a product.
