| A **_sprint_** is a set period of time broken out from a project's overall timeline with associated tasks to be completed during that period of time. That list of tasks is referred to as the sprint's <b>Product Backlog</b>. |

If you want to make it bold, just double asterisks are enough. You don't need any underscore in between.

Don't use HTML tags. You are writing in markdown, which would then be compiled to HTML. So use MD specific syntax highlighter.

This is my first time using markdown and was attempting to both bold and add italics. As for the second comment, I am aware of what markdown does but thank you for the explanation.

| A *sprint* allows a larger timeline to be easily broken into smaller, more digestible pieces in order to focus effort from all stakeholders on a few logically scheduled tasks at a time. |

As you yourself have described earlier, sprint is the slice of a larger timeline. That means this sentence cannot be true. Because sprint is not the process of breaking it down.
What allows for a larger timeline to be broken into pieces is human decision making, and sprint is the result of that.

This is not describing sprint as the process but as a tool or goal. The ideology behind a sprint allows. I have no issue adding this clarification if you still feel it is needed. Everything discussed it a product of human decision making, therefore that is not a valid comment to add.

| In most cases, a *sprint* begins with a planning meeting where the person or persons requesting the work meet with the developers in order to determine what work can realistically be completed during the time period, or sprint, being discussed. The developer will generally have the final say on what work will be completed during the sprint. | ||

| In some organizations these meetings will be overseen by either a Scrum Master or a Project Manager in order to ensure the overall goal of the project has been met after all sprints have been completed. |

@SeanFCC Isn't the Project Manager, a Scrum Master?
What's Scrum? (definition required)

This is the beginning of a set of articles. Defining Scrum will take an entire separate article.
And no Scrum Master and Project Manager aren't the same thing.
