Hello, Is this still available? can i get this ?

Answer 1 : Ideally sprint execute by Scrum team, where scrum team consist of three roles, PO/SM and Dev Team. During Sprint Planning the Team commits to the number of Product backlog items, that they think they will able to complete it before Sprint Time box ends. Complete means the PBIs (Product Backlog items) should meets the definition of Done. Here Scrum Master Facilitate, Developers Develop, Testers Teste and PO verify to move the PBI to Done. PO who owns the Product, User Who Use the Product. The Traditional UAT (User acceptance test) can not fit in, or at least I don’t suggest to adjust UAT with in Sprint Time Box. Agile works on Trust with self-organize team members, and the end of the sprint, they should deliver shippable increment. But, if it the case that your organization needs UAT as must and you need to do a UAT within Sprint Duration, make sure You DOD is appropriate, Don’t Extend the Sprint Duration, UAT has to be completed and fixed with in Sprint time box. Its better to identify the users who will do the UAT during sprint planning. Initiate the UAT for as on when each PBI is ready (try to adopt finish first start later approach), Don’t wait for the sprint to end. Share your teams testcases to end users to expedite the UAT. Any PBIs that does not meets the DOD because of UAT, move them back to backlog at Sprint closure. Many organization do have a practice of doing System Testing or Integration Testing manually or as a Part of DevOps pipeline. On those case, your sprint should be done at when the Backlog items ready to join the DevOps pipeline. UAT will be after that if required. Answer 2 Our primary focus is to add most valuable increment first. If there are some very high importance work item evolved during review, and only grooming is sufficient to start the work, then definitely you will groom the stories during beginning of the Sprint Planning. Product Owner understand the priority of delivery items. So its better to follow the priority set by your PO. But if there are some external dependencies may block the PBI to get completed on the sprint, don’t commit. You need to commit only those PBIs that you are sure that you will able to complete. To keep PO’s priority in mind, You can keep some buffer capacity to accommodate that later (That will create a Scope Creep), if all dependencies and risks got resolved. Again those cases and solutions are varies on organizations and practices to maturity levels and other scenarios. The explanation mentioned above may not perfectly fits in to your case.

If the story is not completed, You can not demonstrate it right ?

True! I meant, as a PO, do we need to inform to stakeholder that we could not complete it?

I want to, Lets see when time permits.

The SM has to ensure that the meeting happens, as SM is the protector of the scrum process he/she can help the PO to invite stakeholders. This meeting can be scheduled by Scrum Master, however PO is the best person to invite business users and Stakeholders.

User Story "Moving it to Done" is primarily job of product owner, user stories does not need to wait for the last date to get accepted, PO is the part of the scrum team, he/she can accept it as and when its getting completed and ready to verify. at 12:25 I have mentioned its "Not" a user story acceptance meeting.

Product Owner is the scrum team member, Product owner should review the completion during the sprint and accept the user story. Its a practice of taking the activity as part of each story and does not required any ceremony.

I need to understand you question in bit more details. Please email me.

Good idea, I should , Let me see when time permits.

Imtiaz, There are purpose for all the agile ceremony. Please don't conduct those meetings just for any formality. Many Team conducts these meeting because they think we need this meeting to run our project on agile. All the ceremonies prescribed by the framework has a purpose to solve, to make the agile way of development more mature. In your case you can decide if there are no stakeholders or Business manager or Management participates on your sprint review, what you will do at that meeting, that you can not do during your sprint duration between your team. Remember Product owner is the Part of your team.
