Concepts behind this area
Product Backlog
A product backlog is the single ordered list of everything that might be done to improve a product, owned by one person who decides the order, refined continuously, and drawn from when each iteration is planned.
Kanban
Kanban is a method for managing knowledge work by making it visible on a board, limiting how much is in progress at each stage, and improving the flow of items from start to finish rather than working in fixed iterations.
User Story
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.
Client Brief
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.
Statement of Work (SoW)
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.
Scope Creep
Scope creep is the quiet expansion of a priced piece of client work through additions that each look too minor to renegotiate, until what gets delivered is substantially larger than what was sold.
