====== Certified Scrum Master ======

**RedAgile**


===== Tuesday 14 December 2021 =====
=== Daily Scrum ===

Usual 3 questions + "How do you feel about the Sprint thus far ?"

=== Product Grooming/Refinement ===

Not defined in the Scrum Guide.  Used to be there, but was dropped in latest version.  Earlier version suggest 10% of Sprint time.

Kane suggests that it is critical because it saves time in Sprint Planning Meetings.

  * Review and update Product Backlog to adjust and reflect current priorities and business needs.
  * With time, there is greater clarity of larger backlog items further away, so good to make them more granular and break them into smaller tasks
    * with smaller tasks, some can increase in priority and others adjusted down


=== 3 Commitments ===
  * Definition of Done: is universal for all increments, unlike Acceptance Criteria which is unique to each
  * Product Goal: arising from Product backlog
  * Sprint Goal: arising from Product backlog

=== Product Backlog Items ===
  * Features
  * User Stories
  * Technical Debt
  * Risk Mitigation
  * Learnings (from Retropectives ?)
