Basics of working in iterations

• incremental and iterative
• work in small time-boxed iterations
• deliver something new on each iteration, obtain feedback from client
• maintain list of user stories (small independent goals with concrete business value)
• developers estimate story points for each user story depending on time to code
• client prioritizes the user stories based on business value
• team computes its velocity (number of story points done in an iteration)
• each iteration ends with a demo of the new functionality
• each iteration starts with a planning meeting to decide which user stories to implement
• Iteration zero is an initial iteration where the initial list of user stories is compiled
