Related concepts

• AgileAgile is a family of delivery approaches that build products in short iterations, work closely with users, welcome changing requirements and release usable increments often. It stems from the 2001 Agile Manifesto; Scrum and Kanban are the most used frameworks.
• KanbanKanban is a method for managing a continuous flow of work by making it visible on a board, limiting work in progress and measuring flow, for example cycle time. It suits operations and support teams whose work arrives unpredictably.
• Product backlogThe product backlog is the ordered list of everything that might be built or changed in a product, such as user stories, defects and technical work. The product owner keeps it prioritised, and items near the top are refined until they are ready for a sprint.
• 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.
