1. Scrum Artifacts

1.1. Definition

1.1.1. Scrum’s artifacts represent WORK or VALUE to provide TRANSPARENCY and opportunities for INSPECTION and ADAPTATION.

1.1.2. is designed to maximize transparency of key information so that everybody has the same understanding of the artifact

1.2. Product Backlog

1.2.1. is the single source of requirements to make the products

1.2.2. WHO

1.2.2.1. Product Owner

1.2.2.1.1. content

1.2.2.1.2. availability

1.2.2.1.3. ordering

1.2.3. PB attributes

1.2.3.1. evolves as the product & environment

1.2.3.2. is dynamics

1.2.3.3. be changed to identify PO's needs to be

1.2.3.3.1. appropriate

1.2.3.3.2. competitive

1.2.3.3.3. useful

1.2.3.4. exists as product exists

1.2.3.5. list all

1.2.5.1. business requirements

1.2.5.2. market condition

1.2.5.3. technology

1.2.6. Multiple Scrum Team works on 1 product share ONE PB

1.2.7. PB Refinement

1.2.7.1. is the act of adding detail, estimates, and order to items in the PB

1.2.7.2. PO and Dev team collaborate to refine PB

1.2.7.3. Scrum TEAM define how & when refinement is done

1.2.7.4. consume max 10% capacity of DEV TEAM

1.2.8. Be updated any time by PO

1.2.9. DEV TEAM responsible for all estimation

1.3.2. In complex environments, what will happen is unknown. Only what has happened may be used for forward-looking decision-making.

1.4. Sprint Backlog

1.4.1. selected PB items for a sprint + plan for delivering increments

1.4.2. is a forecast by Dev team about what's the next increment to be done + the work needed

1.4.3. makes visible all of the work that the Development Team identifies as necessary to meet the Sprint Goal.

1.4.4. is a plan with enough details that changes in progress can be understood in Daily scrum

1.4.5. is modified during Sprint by Dev team

1.4.6. is emerged during sprint

1.6.1. Is the sum of

1.6.1.1. all completed PB item in a sprint

1.6.1.2. value of increments of previous sprints

1.6.2. At the end of sprint, increment must be DONE

1.6.2.1. in usable condition

1.6.2.2. meets Scrum team's defenition of DONE

1.6.2.3. It must be in useable condition regardless of whether the Product Owner decides to actually release it.

4.4.2. Roles

4.4.3. Events

4.4.4. Artifacts

4.4.5. Rules

5. Scrum Theory

5.1. Scrum is founded on empirical process control (empiricism)

5.2. Transparency

5.2.1. significant aspects of the process must be visible to those responsible for the outcome

5.2.2. aspects are defined by a common standard, all observers share the same understanding

5.2.3. dev and approver share the same definition of done

5.3. Inspection

5.3.1. Scrum users must frequently inspect Scrum artifacts & progress comparing with Sprint goal --> detect undesirable variances.

5.3.2. Inspections should not be too frequent

5.3.3. most beneficial when being performed by skilled inspector at the point of the work

5.4. Adaptation

5.4.1. An inspector determines that an aspect of process deviate outside acceptable limits, leading the result be unacceptable , that process must be adjusted.

5.4.3.1. Sprint planning

5.4.3.2. Daily scrum

5.4.3.3. Sprint review

6. Definition of Done

6.1. What is done?

6.1.1. a Product backlog item

6.1.2. an increment

6.2. vary significantly per Scrum Team

6.2.1. all members must have a shared understanding of what it means for work to be complete, to ensure transparency

6.2.1.1. is definition of "Done" for Scrum team

6.2.1.2. is used to assess when work is complete on the product Increment.

6.3. guide Dev team in knowing how many Product Backlog items it can select during a Sprint Planning

6.4. The purpose of each Sprint is to deliver Increments of potentially releasable functionality that adhere to the Scrum Team’s CURRENT definition of “Done.”

6.5. DEV team delivers an increment everysprint, it is USABLE, PO can choose to immediately release it

6.6. definition of Done for an increment& conventions, standards or guidelines of the development organization

6.6.1. IS: All Scrum team must follow as a minimum

6.6.2. NOT: Scrum team define DOD appropriate for the product

6.7. Multiple Scrum Team working on same product, the DEV team on ALL scrum team must mutually define DOD

6.8. Each increment is additive to all prior increments & tested, ensuring ALL Increments work together

6.9. As Scrum Teams mature, it is expected that their definitions of “Done” will expand to include more STRINGENT criteria for higher quality.

6.10. Any one product or system should have a definition of “Done” that is a standard for any work done on it.

7. Artifacts Transparency

7.1. Scrum relies on Transparency

7.2. Decisions to optimize value and control risk

7.2.1. are based on perceived state of artifacts

7.2.2. have sound basis (GOOD) if transparency is complete

7.2.3. be flawed, value may diminish and risk may increase (BAD) if artifacts are incompletely transparent

7.3. Scrum Master must work with ... to understand if artifacts are completely transparent

7.3.1. Product owner

7.3.2. Development Team

7.3.3. involved parties

7.4. Scrum Master must help everyone apply the most appropriate practices in the absence of complete transparency

7.5. Scrum Master detects incomplete transparency by

7.5.1. inspecting artifacts

7.5.2. sensing patterns

7.5.3. listening closely to what's being said

7.5.4. detecting differences between Expected & real Results

7.6. Scrum Master works with

7.6.1. Scrum Team

7.6.2. Organization

7.6.3. to increase the transparency of artifacts

7.6.4. including

7.6.4.1. learning

7.6.4.2. convincing

7.6.4.3. change

7.7. Transparency doesn’t occur overnight, but is a path
