The Scrum Cheat Sheet (English version)
The Cheat Sheet for Agile working method Scrum
Many teams around the world enjoy working according to Scrum. Moreover many company find focus and experience that it supports collaborating effectively. The theory is quite easy to understand, the execution is however a different story.
To provide you an overview of Scrum for preparing your Scrum Master I exam and give you a leg up in putting Scrum to practice we have made this Scrum summary for you. You can call it a Scrum Cheat Sheet or Scrum Quick Reference Card. It is Scrum in short on two A3 pages.
On the front side you will find an explanation of the Scrum meetings: the Daily Scrum, the Sprint Review, the Scrum Retrospective and the Sprint Planning.
As example we have included a time schedule of what a biweekly Sprint might look like including the recommended duration. Of course you can also choose a different Sprint length. However a fixed duration and a maximum duration of a month are strongly recommended. When your Sprints have a length of a month double the durations of all mentioned meetings except the Daily Scrum. The Daily Scrum remains at the recommended 15 minutes.
You can also find on this site a short description of the roles of the Development Team, the Product Owner and the Scrum Master.
On the reverse side you can find an explanation of the composition of the Scrum Team, what a Scrum Board is and of the Scrum artefacts such as Product Backlog, the Sprint Backlog, an Increment, User Stories and Epics. And finally you will find a step by step description of planning poker.
