SPRINT A sprint is a set amount of time where the work is accomplished.

PROJECT BACKLOG The project backlog contains all of the user stories (or features) for the project ranked by priority. Each story has an estimated value of 1 to 3 points.

FEATURE ESTIMATION Feature Estimation is the process of estimating how long each user story will take. You assign each story a relative point value of 1 to 3 points. If it is likely to take longer than 3 points, you break it down into smaller chunks.

PLANNING POKER (SCRUM POKER) Planning Poker is a technique used for feature estimation. One issue with feature estimation is that by speaking the recommended point value, people may influence others in the group. Planning Poker solves this by using cards that are flipped over simultaneously.

DAILY STANDUP Every day at the same time, the entire project team stands up and has a short meeting to review what was accomplished and what will be worked on.

30 USER STORIES User Stories are one to two sentences that describe what a specific type of user needs to do to accomplish a goal on the site. They are formatted like: As a [user type] I want to [do what] so that I can [purpose] WATERFALL Waterfall is a traditional type of project management that is sequenced. For example, once you complete the designs, you start development.

BURNDOWN CHART A burndown chart is a graphical chart that is used to show the amount of work left vs time left.

VELOCITY Sprint velocity is how much work a project team can get done per sprint. It is typically used to estimate how many features can be accomplished each sprint (based on the feature points) SCRUM Scrum is one flavor of agile development that focuses more on the management of the project as opposed to on what is accomplished.

SCRUMMASTER The scrummaster is a member of the team that facilitates the meetings.

Their goal is to remove any impediments that the team has.
