Scrum Process Overview

An agile framework for managing work

• A “Product Owner” creates a prioritized list called a “Product Backlog”
• During ”Sprint Planning”, the team pulls a small chunk from the top of that list, a sprint backlog, and decides how to implement those pieces
• The team has a certain amount of time – a “Sprint” (usually two to four weeks) to complete its work, but it meets each day to assess its progress (daily Scrum)
• Along the way, the “Scrum Master” keeps the team focused on its goal
• At the end of the Sprint, the work should be potentially shippable, ready to hand to a customer, put on a store shelf, or show to a stakeholder
• The Sprint ends with a “Sprint Review” and “Retrospective”
• As the next Sprint begins, the team chooses another chunk of the Product Backlog and begins working again.
