Agile, Scrum & Kanban Practice Tests & Interview Questions

A user story is a short description of a piece of functionality from the perspective of the person who needs it, stating who they are, what they want and why, and carrying acceptance criteria that say when it is done.

The definition of done is the shared, written standard that every piece of work must meet before it counts as complete, covering the quality, testing, documentation and release conditions that make an increment usable.

A retrospective is a regular, structured meeting in which a team examines how it worked over the last period, decides what to change, and commits to one or two concrete improvements for the next one.

A day rate sells a bounded unit of a supplier's working time rather than a finished result, so the client rather than the supplier carries the risk that the job turns out bigger than it looked.

A client brief is the short written statement of what a piece of work has to achieve, for whom, and under which fixed constraints, agreed before either side commits to a solution.

A statement of work is the document that commits one bounded piece of work to paper: what gets built, on which assumptions, to what deadline, for what money, and what sits outside it.
