Scrum ceremonies are the foundation for any well-functioning Scrum team. In this video, we're going to break down the four key Scrum ceremonies you and your team can use to keep everyone connected and making progress.
You may also hear Scrum ceremonies referred to as "events.” Regardless of what you call them, they're meetings for Agile Scrum teams.
Before covering the four different ceremonies in this video, let's quickly cover what Scrum is, what Sprints are, and the different team roles on a Scrum team.
What is Scrum? (00:29)
Scrum is an Agile framework that originated from the world of software development and became widely used across different teams because of its simplicity and efficiency.
What are Sprints? (00:46)
Each Sprint focuses the team on completing a specific set of tasks. When they are finished, this is considered one iteration, which is followed by reviews.
The Different Scrum Team Roles (1:17)
There are three key roles to cover here and they're all equally important.
Product Owner
First, you have the Product Owner who represents both the customers and the stakeholders and is responsible for ensuring the project is delivering value.
Scrum Master
The Scrum Master is responsible for maintaining Agile practices.
The Team
The rest of the team is responsible for the execution and completion of the project itself.
The Scrum Ceremonies (1:59)
Ceremonies also have a crucial role in keeping teams flexible and open to change. Since they happen on a planned basis, new information can be shared quickly and easily to those who need it.
Sprint Planning (2:21)
Sprint Planning happens before the Sprint starts. In this meeting, the team discusses the details of how the work is actually going to get done. Diving into each task that the team will work on in the next Sprint helps everyone complete work on time and as planned. Every member of the team should be present during this meeting.
Daily Scrum/Daily Stand-up (2:55)
The Daily Scrum is also known as the Daily Stand-up meeting. The purpose of this event is to update everyone on what’s being worked on that day. It’s intended to be quick and light, and is organized by the Scrum Master. It is not a detailed status meeting. It's important for the entire team to participate in this event as well.
Sprint Review (3:39)
The Sprint Review is held just after each Sprint and is where the team reviews whether the Sprint goals have been met. The Product Backlog is then updated accordingly. Everyone should be present to showcase the progress they've made and the work they've completed.
Sprint Retrospective (4:09)
The Sprint Retrospective is a dedicated time to discuss how to improve processes and tools after the Sprint ends. Team members assess what went well and any obstacles should be addressed for the next Sprint.
