    Study Notes

    Definition of "Done"

    • A definition of "Done" defines what it takes for an Increment to be ready for release.
    • It guides the Development Team in creating a forecast at the Sprint Planning.
    • A definition of "Done" creates transparency over the work inspected at the Sprint Review.

    Sprint Planning

    • Sprint Planning covers what to do and who will do it.

    Sprint Planning & Workload

    • The Development Team can remove or change selected Product Backlog items if the workload is greater than they can handle.
    • The Development Team should ensure that the Product Owner is aware, starts the Sprint, and monitors progress if the workload is greater than they can handle.

    Increment of Working Software

    • An increment of working software must be available at the end of every Sprint.

    Estimating Work

    • The Development Team makes estimates.
    • The Product Backlog items must be estimated in story points.

    Cross-Functional Teams

    • A product should have one Product Backlog.

    Sprint Retrospective

    • The Scrum Team might discuss the following during a Sprint Retrospective:
      • Methods of communication.
      • The way the Scrum Team does Sprint Planning.
      • Skills needed to improve the Development Team's ability to deliver.
      • Its definition of “Done.”

    Scrum Team Productivity

    • The productivity of the original Scrum Team is likely to decrease if two Scrum Teams are added to the development of a product that previously had only one Scrum Team.

    Development Team Composition

    • The Scrum Master should ask the developers to divide themselves into teams when dividing a group of 100 people into multiple Development Teams.

    Product Backlog Reordering

    • The Product Owner should remind the Development Team that their primary concern is the flow of value reflected in the ordering of the Product Backlog.

    Product Backlog

    • The Product Backlog contains all foreseeable tasks and requirements from which the Scrum team can develop and maintain a complete project plan.
    • The Product Backlog is allowed to grow and change as more is learned about the product and its customers.

    Development Team Membership

    • Development Team membership should change as needed, while taking into account a short term reduction in productivity.

    Product Backlog Item Estimates

    • The Development Team creates a Product Backlog Item's estimate after clarifying requirements with the Product Owner.

    Sprint Planning Output

      • The Sprint plan may become inaccurate.
      • Impediments are raised and resolved more slowly.
