Related concepts

• User storyA user story is a short requirement written from the user's point of view, usually in the form "As a [role], I want [capability] so that [benefit]". It is small enough to deliver in one sprint and comes with acceptance criteria.
• ScrumScrum is an agile framework in which a small team delivers a usable increment in fixed iterations called sprints, of one month or less. It has three accountabilities (product owner, Scrum Master, developers), five events and three artefacts: product backlog, sprint backlog and increment.
• Minimum viable product (MVP)A minimum viable product is the smallest version of a product that can be released to real users to test whether it solves their problem and is worth further investment. In regulated finance, an MVP still has to meet all legal and control requirements for its scope.
