- The Team Backlog is vital; items within it have a chance of being addressed, while those outside it do not
- Estimating work sizes does not guarantee committed delivery
- The Agile Team creates the Team Backlog
- The Product Owner owns and prioritizes it
- It represents opportunities, not commitments

- Implementing stories in vertical slices is key to incremental development
- This enables a shorter feedback cycle
- It allows refinement of understanding of functionality
- It facilitates frequent integration of working systems
Agile for Team: Scrum
- Stories from PI Planning, when combined a Local team context and NFRs go into a Team Backlog
- The Team Backlog feeds into Iteration planning, where Goals are established
- This leads to the Iteration, typically two weeks
- After delivery an Increment is made, followed by an Iteration Retrospective
Iteration Basics
- Iterations are a single development cycle
- In an iteration the Agile team defines, builds, integrates, and tests stories from the Iteration backlog
- Each iteration is the same length, running back-to-back
