Personnel at MajEnt Earth Tech express enthusiasm at the end of your presentation. They seem excited about the prospect of using the agile development method. They ask you the following questions. How do you respond?

1. It sounds like the product owner, who represents our interests, and your developers agree on the items that get entered into the Product Backlog. What is the difference between epics and user stories in the product backlog?

2. Can you describe the important qualities a backlog item should possess? (HINT: Six were discussed in the Backlog Refinement Meeting)

3. Can you give an example of a user story where the who, the what, and the why are clearly specified? (HINT: Use the one mentioned in the Backlog Refinement Meeting)

4. Who decides the order in which backlog items are developed?

5. If we use your scrum agile approach, what is the longest amount of time wed need to wait to see a product with some working features?

6. Who decides how many features will be included in that initial product?

7. If we realize we need to change or to add a feature, what should we do?

8. How do you know when a backlog item is done?

9. For the user story example you gave before (in response to question 3), can you give an example of an acceptance criteria?

10. When can we get a reasonable estimate on how long the entire project might take to complete? (HINT: Mention velocity in your response.)
