  product vision
• Sets development schedule by prioritizing backlog
• Monitors the project against its stated goals and
  financial vision.
• Works with others to estimate items on Product
  Backlog
• One person in this role ensures that only one set
  of requirements drives development. He/she can be
  influenced by committees, management, customers,
  sales people, but is the only person that
  prioritizes, thus eliminating the confusion of
  multiple bosses, different opinions, and
  interference.

  on the Product Backlog

  commitment

Scrum Master

  by
• ensuring the project and organizational cultures
  are optimized for meeting the goals of the
  project
• establishing Scrum practices and rules,
  shielding the team from outside disturbances, and
  removing obstacles
• representing management to the project

13
Product Backlog in Perspective
14
Sprint

• A fixed period of 30 days to develop a
  deliverable product
• The Sprint includes design, coding, testing, and
  documentation
• Once a Sprint has started only the Scrum Team can
  add or remove items in Sprint backlog
• Abnormal termination of Sprint is called for when
  the Sprint Goal no longer makes sense
