Answer the following questions based on the video in the previous item.
What is a backlog?
Why do you think each iteration is called a sprint?
What can you see as benefits of using the scrum framework?
What could be potential challenges of using the scrum framework?
A backlog is a prioritized list of all the tasks or features that need to be completed in a project.
Each iteration is called a sprint because it reflects the idea of a short, focused burst of work, similar to a sprint in a race. It emphasizes time-boxed, regular and consistent efforts towards achieving a goal.
Some benefits of using the scrum framework include increased transparency, improved collaboration and communication among team members, faster feedback loops, increased adaptability and flexibility to changes, and enhanced customer satisfaction.
Potential challenges of using the scrum framework could include difficulty in accurately estimating the time and effort required for each task, managing and prioritizing the backlog effectively, ensuring consistent resource availability, effectively implementing and maintaining the iterative and incremental approach, and managing team dynamics and coordination.
