ABSTRACT
One of the fundamental principles in the Scrum framework is that the duration of the sprint is “time boxed”, which means the sprint will end on the designated date, whether the tasks assigned to that sprint are complete or not. In addition to the sprints, there are number of artifacts, meetings, and roles that are the cornerstone of the Scrum process. There are four types of meetings in the scrum framework: Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective. Each has specific goals, objectives, and a set of deliverables, and they all are time boxed, in order to control the meeting and prevent waste of time. The initiation activities concentrate on the development of a vision for project, identifying and gathering appropriate project participants, identifying user stories, etcetera. Once the project initiation is completed, the actual project development starts. The development process takes place over a number of sprints, where the duration of sprints are agreed upon by team.
