Hi Rahul,

I hope you will find lots of material about the terminologies on google right?

But they are so lengthy so here i am trying to address your issue as easy as i can in very user friendly manner

Scrum:

1.It is an agile methodology which is highly used.

2.It is incremental.

3.It is iterative

Now lets understand that you have to build your House,You need 4 rooms and you wish a swimming pool on roof.

This is your Product which you wish.

You went to engineer he understand what you need, but tell that on roof swimming pool is not feasible or will decide later once upto roof level work done.

He made a PRODUCT BACKLOG in which he mentioned about four rooms and deliver it to mason.

Each room is acts as a SCRUM for mason and each Wall will be considered as the Sprint.

(Now the important term i.e story STORY is nothing but small small details about how to start with )

As in case of Room making the Story will be like this

1.Create a wall with customisation in which 12'*3' window can be fitted.

2.After Creation of walls paint them with blue color etc.

SO overall Product Backlog(House)-->Scrum(Room)-->Sprint(wall)

and stories are detailed steps to achieve the product.

Hi Rahul

Here is a good starting point: Using stories effectively in the SDLC application . If you went to Knowledge 15 and have access to the material from it, here is a lab guide that will provide step-by-step instructions for SDLC: SDLC: Agile Software Development & Test Management . Note though that these refer to SDLC vs Agile within Project. Agile within Project doesn't tie to Products.

If you haven't, I recommend getting formal Agile training so you can apply best practices to your organization.

Hi Rahul,

You've already been given good information, but I'll add to it a bit.

Scrum - A framework for managing a project, typically used as part of an Agile development model; Scrum, combined with Agile make up a holistic development methodology

Project - A collaborative effort that is planned around achieving a specific goal

Story - A description of a specific software feature from an end-user's point-of-view; a story is used as a requirement for developers to work from

Sprint - A work-cycle that has a set duration; most sprints are set at 2 weeks

So, the relationships between these things is this: Scrum provides the method by which projects get broken down into manageable pieces of work and executed. The manageable pieces of work are the stories. The stories describe one piece of work that needs to be done to make up the whole of the project. A project is made up of many stories. The sprint is simply a set duration in time, in which concentrated work will be done on selected stories.

On my team, we use projects to record the pertinent information about the project (start/end dates, description, etc.). We use the project record to report to management on what we're working on and the state of the project. We follow an Agile/Scrum development methodology. Our projects are broken down into stories that the development teams work. They work as many stories as they can in a single sprint (two week period). Development works on stories in each sprint until the project is completed.

I hope this helps. Good luck!
