"Scrum is an iterative and incremental agile software development framework for managing product development. It ... enables teams to self-organize by encouraging physical co-location or close online collaboration of all team members, as well as daily face-to-face communication among all team members and disciplines in the project.
A key principle of scrum is its recognition that during production processes, the customers can change their minds about what they want and need (often called requirements volatility), and that unpredicted challenges cannot be easily addressed in a traditional predictive or planned manner. As such, scrum adopts an empirical approach — accepting that the problem cannot be fully understood or defined, focusing instead on maximizing the team's ability to deliver quickly, to respond to emerging requirements and to adapt to evolving technologies and changes in market conditions."

"There are three core roles in the scrum framework. These core roles are those committed to the project in the scrum process — they are the ones producing the product (objective of the project). They represent the scrum team. ...
Product owner
The product owner represents the stakeholders and is the voice of the customer, who is accountable for ensuring that the team delivers value to the business. The product owner writes (or has the team write) customer-centric items (typically user stories), ranks and prioritizes them, and adds them to the product backlog. ...
Development team
The development team is responsible for delivering potentially shippable increments (PSIs) of product at the end of each sprint (the sprint goal). A team is made up of 3–9 individuals who do the actual work (analyse, design, develop, test, technical communication, document, etc.). Development teams are cross-functional, with all of the skills as a team necessary to create a product increment. The development team in scrum is self-organizing...
Scrum master
Scrum is facilitated by a scrum master, who is accountable for removing impediments to the ability of the team to deliver the product goals and deliverables. The scrum master is not a traditional team lead or project manager, but acts as a buffer between the team and any distracting influences. The scrum master ensures that the scrum process is used as intended. The scrum master helps ensure the team follows the agreed scrum processes, often facilitates key sessions, and encourages the team to improve." [Scrum (software development). Wikipedia]

Agile Mind Maps: Exploring the User Wishes

Agile method advocate use cases and user stories, but there are no standard processes or guides available to help gather user requirements. That is why documenting user requirements can be challenging. Without strong communication experience the scrum process can collapse, leading towards unfruitful requirements and imperfect software. This article offers a path to overcome these hurdles through the simplicity and clearness of mind mapping. ConceptDraw Scrum Worflow solution lets explore the user requirements for your Agile development project before they are formalized. You can easily create professional Mind Maps that will effectively collect and structure the information on what a user actually wants, or the “User Wish.”
The vector stencils library "Scrum workspace" contains 21 icons.

"Product backlog
The product backlog comprises an ordered list of requirements that a scrum team maintains for a product. It consists of features, bug fixes, non-functional requirements, etc.—whatever must be done to successfully deliver a viable product. The product owner orders the product backlog items (PBIs) based on considerations such as risk, business value, dependencies, and date needed. ...
Sprint backlog
The sprint backlog is the list of work the development team must address during the next sprint. The list is derived by the scrum team selecting product backlog items from the top of the product backlog until the development team feels it has enough work to fill the sprint. This is done by the development team asking "Can we also do this?" and adding product backlog items to the sprint backlog. The development team should keep in mind its past performance assessing its capacity for the new sprint, and use this as a guide line of how much "effort" they can complete.
The product backlog items may be 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. ...
Sprint burn-down chart
The sprint burndown chart is a public displayed chart showing remaining work in the sprint backlog. Updated every day, it gives a simple view of the sprint progress. ...
Release burn-down chart
The release burndown chart is the way for the team to track progress and provide visibility. The release burndown chart is updated at the end of each sprint by the scrum master. The horizontal axis of the release burndown chart shows the sprints; the vertical axis shows the amount of work remaining at the start of each sprint." [Scrum (software development). Wikipedia]

"In technology, agile development involves teams self-managing to a large extent (though agile development is commonly still practised within a hierarchical organization, which means that certain types of decisions such as hiring, firing, and pay rises remain the prerogative of managers). In scrum, an agile methodology, team members assign work to be done among themselves, either by free choice or by consensus. The scrum master role in scrum is not a management role as such, but is a role that involves helping to remove obstacles to forward progress, and ensuring that the basic scrum framework is adhered to by all parties, inside and outside the team - both aspects of the role being more akin to facilitation than to top-down micromanagement. Agile methodologies such as scrum have also begun being used in non-technology companies and organizations." [Flat organization. Wikipedia]

Sprint Retrospective

The sprint retrospective is a regular meeting of the team, that takes place after the sprint review and before the next sprint planning. It is usually time limited by one to three hours and gives the opportunity to discuss the workflow and to change something in it. The collective discussion during the sprint retrospective allows to come to more effective results in a nearby future. The sprint retrospective provides the opportunity to inspect how successfully have passed the sprint in relation to the people, the relationships between them, as well as processes and tools, to identify what items require the potential improvement, to find the ways to enhance the quality of the developed product, and to create a plan of changes and improvements, which will be implemented in the next sprint. ConceptDraw MINDMAP enhanced with Project Management solutions from the ConceptDraw Solution Park, supports the Agile, Scrum and other methods. It is specially tuned for collaborative work and allows to design the professional Mind Maps from the beginning or on the base of predesigned templates.

Sprint Planning Meeting Agenda

Scrum is a framework that allows to solve the radically different tasks, from the development of complex IT products to the creation a reasonable to-do list. The sprint is a basic concept in Scrum, it is an iteration during which is created the functional growth of software. The duration of each sprint is defined by the scrum team individually, based on the tasks, objectives, requirements and composition, which gives to the development process the predictability and flexibility, usually it takes from one to six weeks. The Sprint planning meeting occurs at the beginning of each new sprint, with the participation of the product owners, the scrum master and the entire scrum team. During the Sprint planning meeting is determined the amount of work, the list of tasks, the tasks are broken into the subtasks and their implementation is discussed, at this the tasks are estimated in man-hours. The Mind Map visualizing the Sprint planning meeting agenda was created in ConceptDraw MINDMAP software with help of PM solutions included to ConceptDraw Solution Park.
