16. ASIA EDGE TECHNOLOGY. PTE LTD Transparency • The Scrum Team is transparent through the artifacts and events. Features, progress, and communication must be transparent to all who get involved in the project. • Transparency increases the value of the product because it leads to valuable discussion. • Transparency enables inspection. Inspection cannot be done without transparency.
17. ASIA EDGE TECHNOLOGY.

As a result of the inspection, the Scrum Team can adapt to change.
18. ASIA EDGE TECHNOLOGY. PTE LTD Adaptation • The Scrum Team is adaptable to be flexible and prevent deviation as a result of the inspection. • Adaptation is one of the critical characteristics of the Scrum Team in order to meet the changeable market and customer requests. • Adaptation prevents the common mistake that the software development team creates unwanted products after spending a long time developing.

22. ASIA EDGE TECHNOLOGY. PTE LTD Scrum Artifacts • Product Backlog • Sprint Backlog • Increment
23. ASIA EDGE TECHNOLOGY. PTE LTD Product Backlog Product Backlog • is the most important artifact in Scrum because it describes everything of the product: functions, requirements, enhancements, bug fixes, etc, and prioritizes them. • Is associated with one product. Even though multiple teams work for a single product, the Product Backlog must be one. • Exists and evolves as long as the product exists and evolves.
24. ASIA EDGE TECHNOLOGY. PTE LTD Basic Product Backlog Template • User Story • As a <person>, I would like to <what> so that <reason> • Priority • Acceptance Criteria • Estimation
25. ASIA EDGE TECHNOLOGY. PTE LTD Sprint Backlog • Sprint Backlog is the set of Product Backlog Items selected to achieve for the upcoming Sprint. • The Development Team estimates to select based on the priority of the Product Backlog and realistic forecast. • Sprint Backlog is updated throughout the Sprint as the development progress.
26. ASIA EDGE TECHNOLOGY. PTE LTD Increment Increment • is the sum of all the Product Backlog items completed in all previous Sprints. • is created when the Product Backlog item meets the definition of done that is the common understanding of completion in the project. • is releasable whenever the Product Owner wants to release.

35. ASIA EDGE TECHNOLOGY. PTE LTD The Sprint Planning • During the Sprint Planning, The Scrum Team plans which Product Backlog items they work on to complete at the end of the Sprint. • The Scrum Team discusses to decide which Product Backlog items meet the Product Vision and increase the product's value. • The Sprint Planning is time-boxed, and The Scrum Team needs to discuss three questions: why is this Sprint valuable, what can be done this Sprint, how will the chosen work get done.
