project.

Sprints
The essential development units in Agile
Project Management, typically one week
to one month in duration and focusing
on the development of a certain set of
features.
Sprint Velocity
The average number of story points
resolved during a sprint.
Sprint Structure
The process of planning sprints by
estimating workloads associated with
various features and distributing similar
workloads between sprints.
Story Points
A metric used to quantify the complexity
of user stories.

perspective on the need for a product.
Waterfall
Sometimes referred to as the “Waterfall

A traditional project management
methodology that emphasizes a plan and
definition of success that is substantially
more rigid than that of the Agile
approach. The five steps of Waterfall
project management are Initiating,
Planning, Executing, Controlling, and
Closing.
