I’ve been learning a bit about the Scrum methodology lately (both the workplace and at uni), and I came across this nice looking Scrum Cheat Sheet. It is a few years old now, but it highlights the major roles, artifacts, meetings, etc.

You can download a copy of at Scribd. If the link doesn’t work or you can’t download it let me know and I’ll see if I can e-mail it to you or post it up on here. It places all the information on a nice landscape page!

I’ve copied some of the text below to give you an idea of how it is set out.

Roles

Scrum Team

• Team is cross-functional and consists of 5-9 people
• There are no set project roles within the team
• Team defines tasks and assignments

• Conducts the Sprint Review

Product Owner (PO)

• Accountable for product success
• Defines all product features

• Holds daily 15 minute team meeting (Daily Scrum)
• Removes obstacles
• Shields the team from external interference
• Maintains the Sprint Burndown Chart
• Conducts Sprint Retrospective at the end of a Sprint

Artifacts

Product Backlog – (PB)

• List can contain bugs, and non-functional items
• Product Owner responsible for prioritizing

• Each item should have a business value assigned
• Maintained by the Product Owner

• To-do list (also known as Backlog item) for the Sprint

Burndown Chart – (BC)

Release Backlog – (RB)

• Same as the Product Backlog. May involve one or more sprints dependent on determined Release date

Update: For some reason or another people are have problem getting to the Scrum Cheat Sheet. I would recommend you try and get it from the above link but for those who can’t I’ve decided to upload it here –> Scrum Cheat Sheet <–
