Scrum/Agile Cheat Sheet

Most shops will be using a mix of Agile and Scrum in their development methodology. I created a cheat sheet for myself to reference; hopefully, it will help others. A pdf of the cheat sheet can be found here on my GitHub.

General Workflow

  1. The Product Owner selects items from the Product Backlog to accomplish in the Sprint.
  2. The Product Owner and Developers discuss Product Backlog items in the Sprint Planning meeting.
  3. Developers prioritize selected items and create the Sprint Backlog.
  4. Sprint Backlog items are assigned to Developers and worked.
  5. As the situation changes, the Developers and Product Owner negotiate the scope of the Sprint Backlog.
  6. Scrum Team conducts Sprint Review.
  7. Scrum Team conducts Sprint Retrospective to conclude the Sprint.
