RACI

A model used to help define roles and responsibilities. RACI stands for responsible, accountable, consulted and informed.

release

The set of products in a handover. The contents of a release are managed, tested and deployed as a single entity.

In PRINCE2 Agile, a release is typically a container for more than one low-level timebox (e.g. a sprint)). However, this is not necessarily the case as the act of releasing features into operational use may happen more regularly (e.g. after each sprint or several times during a sprint).

requirement

A term to describe what a product does and/or how it will do it. A requirement can be written in the form of a user story if desired and will exist with other requirements in the form of a list.

retrospective

A regular event that looks at how the process of doing work can be improved. In keeping with the agile concept of 'inspect and adapt', these events help teams to continually improve their working practices, little by little, over time.

risk

An uncertain event or set of events that, should it occur, will have an effect on the achievement of objectives. A risk is measured by a combination of the probability of a perceived threat or opportunity occurring, and the magnitude of its impact on objectives.
