Scrum Variables: PB, RB, SP and SCRUM

These are the key variables in the Matrix that leads to Scrum .
It all starts with the PB or the idea. The product backlog is composed of use stories ( ref previous post) and these should be prioritized according to their  Business Value. The Business criteria or grid to evaluate the business value should be consistent at the enterprise level.

Capturing the Product Backlog


What is the Product Backlog

  • Evolving backlog of user stories (requirements.Please see my previous posting on use stories)
  • Describes what users need and value
  • Owned by the Product Owner
  • Prioritized by business value
  • Each story is written from the user’s perspective
