A person in charge of a scrum team is typically called a scrum master. [2] Scrum's approach to product development involves bringing decision-making authority to an operational level. [3] Unlike a sequential approach to product development, scrum is an iterative and incremental framework for product development. [4]
Scrum has daily meetings (the daily scrum) for the team to reflect and assess progress towards the sprint goal. [8] This meeting is intended to be brief – less than 15 minutes – so any in-depth discussions about impediments are deferred until after the event is complete.

Planning poker, also called Scrum poker, is a consensus-based, gamified technique for estimating, mostly used for timeboxing in Agile principles. In planning poker, members of the group make estimates by playing numbered cards face-down to the table, instead of speaking them aloud. The cards are revealed, and the estimates are then discussed.
The INVEST mnemonic for Agile software development projects was created by Bill Wake [1] as a reminder of the characteristics of a good quality Product Backlog Item (commonly written in user story format, but not required to be) or PBI for short.
In a true Agile approach, the lead programmer collaborates with a separate position of scrum master, who acts as an intermediary seeking a compromise between business demand (product owner) and team capacity and skillset, e.g. which story tickets from the product backlog will be passed into the next Agile sprint.
The agile product backlog in scrum is a prioritized features list, containing short descriptions of all functionality desired in the product. When applying the scrum or other agile development methodology, it is not necessary to start a project with a lengthy, upfront effort to document all requirements as is more common with traditional project management methods following the waterfall model.
