The Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring that the Scrum process is followed and facilitating the team's progress. They remove obstacles and help the team achieve their goals.

The Product Owner represents the stakeholders and defines the product backlog. They prioritize backlog items, ensure the team understands requirements, and make decisions about what gets developed. The Product Owner could also be a resource of the clients’ team.

The Development Team is responsible for delivering working product increments. They self-organize, estimate tasks, collaborate on development, and strive to meet sprint goals.

This is a prioritized list of features, enhancements, and fixes that represent the product's requirements. The Product Owner maintains the backlog and continually refines it.

This is a subset of items from the product backlog that the Development Team commits to completing during a sprint.

At the end of each sprint, a potentially releasable increment of the product is created. It represents the sum of all completed backlog items.

A time-boxed period (usually 1-4 weeks) during which the Development Team works on delivering a potentially releasable increment of the product.

At the beginning of a sprint, the Development Team selects items from the product backlog and plans the work that will be completed during the sprint.

A daily stand-up meeting where the Development Team discusses progress, planned work for the day, and any obstacles they're facing.

At the end of a sprint, the team presents the completed increment to stakeholders, gathers feedback, and discusses what was accomplished.

After the sprint review, the team reflects on the sprint process to identify what went well, what could be improved, and actions to take in the next sprint.

Scrum is based on transparency, inspection, and adaptation. The team regularly inspects progress and adapts its plans accordingly.

Teams are empowered to organize and manage their work. The Scrum Master helps facilitate rather than direct.

Close collaboration between the Development Team, Scrum Master, and Product Owner ensures that everyone is aligned and focused on delivering value.

Scrum events are time-boxed, which means they have a fixed duration. This time constraint encourages focused and efficient discussions and work. For example, a Sprint has a fixed time frame (e.g., 2-4 weeks), and daily standup meetings are typically limited to 15 minutes.

Scrum emphasizes delivering a potentially shippable product increment at the end of each sprint. This iterative and incremental approach allows for regular inspection and adaptation, enabling the product to evolve based on feedback and changing requirements.

The Product Owner is responsible for prioritizing the product backlog to ensure that the team works on the most valuable features and items first. This focus on delivering high-priority items helps maximize the return on investment.

Scrum is designed to be customer-centric. The Product Owner represents the customer or stakeholder's interests and ensures that the product aligns with their needs and expectations.

Scrum teams regularly reflect on their processes and seek ways to improve. The Sprint Retrospective is an event dedicated to inspecting and adapting the team's practices.
