Scrum Meetings – Backlog Grooming

Slide Content

The slide introduces Backlog Grooming within the context of Scrum Meetings. It contrasts two different iconographic styles: a "Big icon" that is more detailed and composed of several elements indicating complexity, such as multiple circles and lines within a square, and a simplified "Thumbnail icon" showing a more abstract representation of a document with a few lines, indicating simplification and ease of recognition.

Graphical Look

• The slide uses a minimalistic and professional design style, with a plain white background.
• There are two icons centrally located on the slide, aligned horizontally.
• The icon on the left is larger and more detailed, composed of abstract shapes inside a square boundary, and labeled as 'Big icon'.
• The icon on the right is smaller with a cleaner design, featuring a few simple lines within a circular boundary, and labeled as 'Thumbnail icon'.
• Underneath each icon is a text box with the corresponding label in a bold, sans-serif font.
• The icons and labels are colored in shades of blue and gray, maintaining a corporate color scheme.
• Each icon appears to be on a platform with a subtle shadow beneath it, giving a sense of depth.

The overall look of the slide is clean and businesslike, with the focus on the comparison of icon styles. The use of space and alignment creates a balanced visual arrangement suitable for professional presentations.
