Day 9/100 of my DevOps Journey

Scrum Artifacts and Events:

1. Product Backlog - All the requirements for the product.

2. Sprint backlog - Stories to be done in the next sprint (next 2 weeks).

3. Done Increment - product increment done by the end of the sprint.

Events:

1. Sprint planning meeting - planning out the entire sprint

2. Daily scrum - daily stand-up

3. Sprint

4. Sprint review - demo time for the stakeholders

5. Sprint retrospective - reflection by the team on the sprint

Benefits of Scrum:

1. Higher productivity

2. Better product quality

3. Reduce time to market

4. Increased stakeholder's satisfaction

5. Better team dynamics - creates a productive environment

6. Happier employees.

Planning to be Agile:

1. Epic > Stories. Smaller stories lead upto a Epic. Usually when an Epic is too big to fit into 2-week (sprint).

Story Points:

1. Story points are the estimate of difficulty in implementing a certain user story

Backlog Refinement:

1. Ranking the backlog by importance

2. Technical Debt - Anything you need to do that the customer does not perceive it as value.

Sprint Planning:

1. Team velocity is the number of story points that a team can complete in a single sprint.
