9.7 Exercise Ulis exercise uses agile processes for the library case study. Read the scenario below and then complete the exercise by writing down the meanings of the given terms. Look up any terms for which you do not know the meaning, and do write them down. Writing them will help you learn them better than just reading them will.

For the first set of releases, a team of 5 product developers will be assigned for a period of 6 months (besides the product owner and project manager). Their goal will be to offer as many features to library patrons as can be released in 6 months, based on the product owners (head librarians) priority and other stakeholder feedback.

• The team will work in two-week iterations with releases every quarter.

• The PM will track team velocity and report which features patrons value most, compared with the time required to create them.

• At the end of the 6 months, the PM will present accomplishments to management along with the product owner’s recommendation for next steps.

Hands-on: Define the following terms, either here or in your Exercise Notebook.
