All members of the scrum team contribute to the success of the project and members may change as different skills are required. The scrum process begins with the product owner creating a narrative of what is required. The scrum team then develops a scrum backlog or list of things that need to be done to complete the project. The scrum team then begins to implement the completion of this list in the form of sprints. Sprints last between one and four weeks. The scrum teams meet daily to assess the progress of the sprints.
