Organize Your Project

- Work with the Product Owner to develop a set of User Stories, or features, that will achieve the project vision.
- Build the Product Backlog, or catalog of features to be developed, from the User Stories.

- Prioritize the work items in the Product Backlog, emphasizing riskier tasks and must-have features first.

  - What tasks he or she worked on the day before.

  - What obstacles he or she faces in completing assigned tasks.
- What tasks he or she worked on the day before.
- What tasks he or she plans to work on that day.
- What obstacles he or she faces in completing assigned tasks.
- Do not change priorities or work items a Sprint.
- Meet with the Product Owner at the end of each Sprint to re-prioritize remaining items in the Product Backlog and to plan the next Sprint.
Build Your Toolset
