The life cycle of the PosoMAS variant of Scrum is depicted above. Initial requirements are captured in a Product
Backlog. An iteration consists of Sprint Planning, in which the backlog is prioritised and the work items for the
sprint are selected, the sprint, and Sprint Finalisation in which a review and a retrospective are held. The sprint
itself consists of small increments of Daily Work, initiated by a Daily Scrum. After the 2 to 4 weeks of the sprint are
completed, a Potentially Shippable Project Increment has been created. The Sprint Review gives all stakeholders the
opportunity for feedback. After construction is complete, the working system is released to production. The product
backlog can be changed or augmented by the stakeholders at any time during or after a sprint. Diagram based on the "Agile System Development Life Cycle
(SDLC)", an extension of the standard Scrum sprint lifecycle with iterations and consideration of preparatory as
well as release activities.
