Here is a quick recap of everything we have covered about Scrum so far:
Scrum is a framework to help us manage change when doing complex work. It is designed to help us deliver a product of the highest possible value.
The Product Goal represents the long term objective for the Scrum Team and details why it is valuable. The work to achieve this is held in an ordered Product Backlog which the Product Owner is accountable for. A Definition of Done helps us understand the quality required for the Increment.
Work is completed in Sprints of less than 1 month. At the beginning of each Sprint, The Scrum Team conducts the Sprint Planning event. Here they set a Sprint Goal that explains why we are completing the work. The work to be Done and a plan of how to do it is captured in the Sprint Backlog which the Developers are accountable for.
During the Sprint, a self-managing and cross-functional Scrum Team carries out the work with the aim of producing a usable, Done Increment that meets the Sprint Goal by the end of the Sprint. Developers meet each day at the Daily Scrum to revisit and adapt the Sprint Backlog for the next 24 hours.
At the end of the Sprint, the Increment is inspected by the Scrum Team and stakeholders at a Sprint Review. Adaptions to the Product Backlog often result as more will now be known about the product and the domain within which we are operating.
In the Sprint Retrospective, the Scrum Team plans ways to overcome issues and improve its ability to create the product.
