6) Scrum Artifacts & Product Backlog Flashcards
What are the Scrum Artifacts?
Scrum’s Artifacts represent work or value used to provide transparency and opportunities for inspection and adaptation.
What is the Product Backlog?
The Product Backlog is an ordered list of everything that might be needed in the product and is the single source of requirements for any changes to be made to the product.
Who is responsible for the Product Backlog?
The Product Owner is responsible for the Product Backlog, including its content, availability, and ordering.
When is the Product Backlog complete?
A Product Backlog is never complete.As long as a product exists, its Product Backlog also exists.
The Product Backlog evolves as the product and the environment in which it will be used evolves.
The Product Backlog is dynamic; it constantly changes to identify what the product needs to be appropriate, competitive, and useful.
What is in the earliest version of Product Backlog?
The earliest development of it only lays out the initially known and best-understood requirements.
What is listed in the Product Backlog?
The Product Backlog lists all features, functions, requirements, enhancements, and fixes that constitute the changes to be made to the product in future releases.
What are the attributes of the Product Backlog items?
description,
order,
estimate and
value.
Why do we call Product Backlog a living artifact?
Requirements never stop changing - Changes in business requirements, market conditions, or technology may cause changes in the Product Backlog.
How many Product Backlogs are there per product?
There is only 1 Product Backlog per product.
What is the Product Backlog refinement?
Who is taking part in it?
Product Backlog refinement is the act of adding detail, estimates, and order to items in the Product Backlog.
This is an ongoing process in which the Product Owner and the Development Team collaborate on the details of Product Backlog items.
Who decides when and how the refinement of the Product Backlog is done?
The Scrum Team decides how and when refinement is done.
How much time/capacity does the Product Backlog refinement take?
Refinement usually consumes no more than 10% of the capacity of the Development Team.
However, Product Backlog items can be updated at any time by the Product Owner or at the Product Owner’s discretion.
What’s the difference between the higher and lower order items in Product Backlog?
Higher ordered Product Backlog items are usually clearer and more detailed than lower ordered ones.
More precise estimates are made based on the greater clarity and increased detail; the lower the order, the less detail.
What’s the definition of a “Ready” Product Backlog item?
Product Backlog items that can be “Done” by the Development Team within one Sprint are deemed “Ready” for selection in a Sprint Planning.
Product Backlog items usually acquire this degree of transparency through the refining activities.
Who is responsible for all estimates?
The Development Team.
The Product Owner may influence the Development Team by helping it understand and select trade-offs, but the people who will perform the work make the final estimate.
