Step 1: Writing the Product Backlog

Step 2: Sprint planning meeting

The Product Owner, the Scrum Master and the team discuss the content of the next sprint based on the top priority user stories.

Step 3: Writing the Sprint Backlog

List of user stories that have been committed to for the next sprint. The entire team and product owner have a solid understanding of what each of the user stories involves based on the discussions from the sprint planning meetings.

Step 4: Sprint

During the sprint, daily scrums occur as a stand-up meeting where the team discusses what they have completed, what they are working on and any difficulties.

Outcome of the sprint = potentially shippable product

Step 5: Sprint review and Sprint retrospective meetings

- Sprint review: where the team showcases their work to the product owner

- Retrospective: where the team works on what they can do to improve their process
