but with more media and post types.

Scrum - Backlog refinement (grooming)

1 Backlog refinement is the ongoing process of reviewing product backlog items and checking that they are appropriately

prioritised and prepared in a way that makes them clear and executable for teams once they enter sprints via the sprint planning

activity. Product backlog items may be broken into multiple smaller ones, acceptance

criteria may be clarified, or new preparatory work such as clarification on client needs or

technical spikes may be identified.



1 Backlog refinement is not a core scrum practice but has been adopted as a way of managing the quality of

backlog items entering a sprint.

Scrum - Product backlog

1 The Product Backlog and business value of each listed item is the

responsibility of the Product Owner. The estimated effort to complete each backlog item is, however,

determined by the Development Team. The team contributes by

estimating Items and User-Stories, either in Story-points or in estimated

hours.https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

Scrum - Sprint backlog

1 This is done by the Development Team asking "Can we also do this?"

and adding product backlog items to the sprint backlog



1 The product backlog items are broken down into tasks by the

Development Team. Tasks on the sprint backlog are never assigned;

rather, tasks are signed up for by the team members as needed according

to the set priority and the Development Team member skills. This promotes self-organization of

the Development Team, and developer buy-in.



1 The sprint backlog is the property of the Development Team, and all

included estimates are provided by the Development Team. Often an

accompanying task board is used to see and change the state of the

tasks of the current sprint, like "to do", "in progress" and "done".



1 Once a Sprint's Product Backlog is committed, no additional

functionality can be added to the Sprint except by the team. Once a

Sprint has been delivered, the Product Backlog is analyzed and

reprioritized, if necessary, and the next set of functionality is selected

for the next Sprint.


Backlog of unexamined patent applications

Hadoop/NoSQL Software or Services, with 13% of total marketshare.



1 For the 2012 London Olympics, the BBC used MarkLogic to power its Olympic Data

Services, an application that had to be built in 12 months. Given the timescales, this project would not have been achievable using a SQL database, which would have

pushed the design towards more complete modeling of the data. BBC broke all traffic

records during the 2-week games, 2.8 Petabytes on peak day, including more than

100m video requests.



1 Since 1 October 2013, MarkLogic has been used to help power the U.S.

government [ http://healthcare.gov healthcare.gov] site.

argued that it would slow work because it was too

unfamiliar.[http://developers.slashdot.org/story/13/11/24/1437203/nyt-healthcaregov-project-chaos-due-partly-to-unorthodox-

Scrum (management) - Product backlog

1 The product backlog is an ordered list of requirements that is maintained for a New

product development|product. It consists of Software feature|features, Patch (computing)|bug fixes, non-functional requirements, etc.—

whatever needs to be done in order to successfully deliver a viable product. The

product backlog items (PBIs) are ordered by the Product Owner based on considerations like risk, business value, dependencies, date

needed, etc.



1 The items added to the backlog are commonly written in story format.

The product backlog is 'What' will be delivered, ordered into the sequence in which it should be delivered. It is

open and editable by anyone, but the Product Owner is ultimately

responsible for ordering the items on the backlog for the Development

Team to choose.https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html


1 These estimates help the Product Owner to gauge the timeline and may influence ordering

of backlog items; for example, if the add spellcheck and add table support features have

the same business value, the Product Owner may schedule earlier delivery of the one with the lower development effort (because the

return on investment|ROI (Return on Investment) is higher) or the one with higher

development effort (because it is more complex or riskier, and they want to retire that risk

earlier)https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html


1 The product backlog and the business value of each backlog item is the responsibility of the Product

Owner. The size (i.e. estimated complexity or effort) of each backlog item is, however, determined by the Development Team, who contributes by sizing items, either in story points

or in estimated hours.



1 There is a common misunderstanding that only User story|user stories are allowed in a

Product Backlog. By contrast, Scrum is neutral on requirement techniques.

As the Scrum Primer states,



1 Product Backlog items are articulated in any way that is clear and sustainable.

Contrary to popular misunderstanding, the Product Backlog does not contain user stories; it simply contains items. Those items can be expressed as user stories, use cases, or any other requirements

approach that the group finds useful. But whatever the approach, most items should

focus on delivering value to customers.


Scrum (management) - Sprint backlog

1 Once a Sprint Backlog is committed, no additional functionality can be

added to the Sprint backlog except by the team. Once a Sprint has been

delivered, the Product Backlog is analyzed and reprioritized if

necessary, and the next set of functionality is selected for the next

Sprint.

Product owner - Product backlog

1 Items added to a backlog are commonly written in story format. The product backlog is what will be

delivered, ordered into the sequence in which it should be delivered. It is

open and editable by anyone, but the Product Owner is ultimately

responsible for ordering the items on the backlog for the Development

Team to choose.https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html


1 Scrum advocates that the role of Product Owner be assigned. The Product Owner is responsible for

maximizing the value of the product and the work of the Development Team. The Product Owner gathers

input, takes feedback and is lobbied by many people, but it will ultimately

make the call on what gets built. They are also solely responsible for the management of the backlog.



1 Typically, the product owner and the SCRUM team come together and

write down everything that needs to be prioritized and this becomes

content for the first sprint, which is a block of time meant for focused work

on selected items that can be accommodated within a timeframe.

The SCRUM product backlog is permitted to evolve as new

information surfaces about the product and its customers, and so

new work are tackled for next sprints.



1 An example of knowledge acquisition could be a scrum backlog item about

researching Wordpress plugin libraries and making a selection.


Product owner - Managing the product backlog between product owner and scrum team

1 A backlog, in its simplest form, is merely a list of items to be worked on. Having well established rules

about how work is added, removed and ordered helps the whole team

make better decisions about how to change the product.



1 On the SCRUM board, the team moves items from the product

backlog to the sprint backlog, which is the list of items they will build



1 Items at the top of the backlog, the items that are going to be worked on

first, should be broken down into stories that are suitable for the

delivery team to work on. The further down the backlog goes, the less refined the items should be. As

Schwaber and Beedle put it “The lower the priority, the less detail, until you can barely make out the

backlog item.”https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

finished.Pichler, Roman

1 This often builds up to a mountain-like backlog, which Gaston often attempts to dispose of in creative

ways, for instance stuffing a homemade sofa with it


Delhi High Court - Backlog

1 As per the report released on 2006-08, Delhi High court has a long list of pending cases.The backlog is such

that it would take 466 years to resolve them.In a bid to restore

public trust and confidence, Delhi court spent 5 minutes per case and

disposed of 94,000 cases in 2008-10.
