What is a sprint plan

What are story points

Story point - a value that estimates the amount of effort to complete the ticket

Person days - a unit for how much work one man can do in one day, might mean you work after hours

T-shirt sizing - estimating how long a task will take by categorising it (S, M, L, XL, XXL, …)

What is a scrum meeting

Meeting each morning orchestrated by a scrum master saying:

  1. What have I done
  1. What am I going to do
  1. What is blocking me

What is a burn down chart

Velocity - estimate of how many story points that can be completed

Number of story points left in the backlog

It should be 0 by the end of the sprint
