Important terms used in the Scrum framework

The following are the important terms used in the Scrum framework:

• The Sprint: Sprint is a timebox during which a usable and potentially releasable product gets created. A new Sprint starts immediately after the conclusion of the previous Sprint. A Sprint may last between two weeks to one month, depending on the project's command over Scrum.
• Product Backlog: The Product Backlog is a list of all the required features in a software solution. The list is dynamic. That is, now and then the customers or team members add or delete items to the Product Backlog.
• Sprint Backlog: The Sprint Backlog is the set of Product Backlog items, selected for the Sprint.
• Increment: The Increment is the sum of all the Product Backlog items completed during a Sprint and the value of the Increments from all the previous Sprints.
• The Development Team: The Development Team does the work of delivering a releasable set of features named Increment at the end of each Sprint. Only members of the Development Team create the Increment. Development Teams are empowered by the organization to organize and manage their work. The resulting synergy optimizes the Development Team's overall efficiency and effectiveness.
• The Product Owner: The Product Owner is a mediator between the Scrum Team and everyone else. He is the front face of the Scrum Team and interacts with customers, infrastructure teams, admin teams, everyone involved in the Scrum, and so on.
• The Scrum Master: The Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring Scrum is understood and enacted. Scrum Masters do this by ensuring that the Scrum Team follows the Scrum theory, practices, and rules.
