The Definition of Readiness (DOR) records when a product backlog item (such as user stories) has worked to the point where it is “likely” to be included in a sprint, while the Scrum team uses DoD to define when all work on a product backlog item (such as user stories) has been completed.

Scrum artifacts provide critical information that the Scrum team and stakeholders need to know in order to understand the product being developed, the activities being planned, and the activities being completed in the project. The following artifacts are defined in the Scrum Process Framework.

The completion definition (DoD) is a list of requirements that the user story must comply with so that the team can invoke it as complete. The acceptance criteria for user stories include a set of test scenarios that will meet the requirements to confirm whether the software works as expected.

It’s important to prioritize your product backlog to make sure it doesn’t become an open-ended list where everyone has random ideas about your product. Your to-do list needs to be structured, organized, and prioritized to identify the most strategically important things for your team to do. In this article, I introduce the 100 Points method for product backlog refinement activities.

Scrum compares a software development team to a football team. It has a clear and highest goal, is familiar with the best model and technology required in the development process, has a high degree of autonomy, close communication and cooperation, and ensures to solve various challenges every day with a high degree of flexibility; Each stage has a clear progress towards the goal.

Scrum originated in software development projects, but it is suitable for any complex or innovative projects. Scrum has been used to develop software, hardware, embedded software, interactive function networks, autonomous driving, schools, governments, markets, management organizations and operations, and almost everything we (as individuals and groups) use in daily life.
