3 Roles:

1. Product Owner: Person responsible for defining the features that are needed in the product.

2. Scrum Master: Leader of team, responsible for protecting the team and the process and keeping things going. Ensuring the relationship inside as well as outside the team

3. Team: dev, testers, writers and anyone else helping in developing the product.

3 Artifacts/Documents:

1. Product Backlog: PO create a prioritized list of features know as User Stories that could go into the product. This list evolves and changes priority with every sprint.

2. User Stories: Way of describing a feature set. 

e.g., As a …………..(user)

    I need ……bla bla….

    So that ……reason….

3. Sprint Backlog: The highest priority user stories go into the sprint backlog. These get estimated for size and are committed for the next sprint. 

4. Burndown chart: Show the progress during the sprint.

3 Ceremonies:

1. Sprint Planning: Where PO, SM and team meet to discuss the user stories and estimate the relative sizes.

2. Daily scrum: Stand-up meeting where they discuss what they have completed since the previous meeting, what they are working on and anything that might be blocked or need help.
