1. The three theoretical pillars of Scrum: transparency, inspection and self-adaptation.

4. The Scrum team consists of three: Scrum team, Scrum Master and Product owner.

5. Several different types of activities or events are involved in the Scrum method: sprint, sprint planning meeting, daily Scrum meeting, sprint review meeting, sprint review meeting.

5. Sprints: a sprint is an iteration under a time box, usually a month or less, to create a product that can be released.

7. Sprint Planning meeting (Sprint Planning Meeting): this meeting is a meeting to decide what will be delivered in a sprint and how the work will be done.

Daily standing meeting (Daily Scrum): subject to the limitation of the 15-minute time box, there are mainly three questions: first, what I have accomplished yesterday; second, what I am going to accomplish today; and third, what problems have I encountered

9. Sprint Review meeting (Sprint Review): the review meeting is held at the end of the sprint, mainly to check the increments and completed products.

10. Sprint Review meeting (Sprint Retrospective): at the end of the sprint, after the end of the review. The team examines the process through a sprint review meeting to find appropriate improvement measures. The retrospective meeting took place after the sprint review meeting and before the next sprint planning meeting.

11. Artifacts: in most cases, an artifact is a deliverable in product to-do and sprint to-do items, and is generally considered to be a "completed" deliverable.

12. Product to-do items (Product Backlog): a sequenced list of all the items that may be related to the needs of the product. This to-do item is dynamic and evolving, so it is "changing".

13. Sprint to-do (Sprint Backlog): a specific sprint combination selected from the product to-do items. Definition of completion (Definition of done): that is, what is considered to be done in a to-do item, most people must agree on what the definition of completion is.

14. The responsibilities of the three roles in Scrum:
