Scrum Meetings or Ceremonies

Scrum meetings are the regular, timeboxed events that promote communication, transparency, and alignment. They include Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Sprint Reviews, and Sprint Retrospectives. For larger initiatives, a Scrum of Scrums meeting brings together one representative from each Scrum Team (often the Scrum Master, though any team member may attend if needed). Facilitated by the Chief Scrum Master, it focuses on cross-team coordination and integration.

Key Points

  • Sprint Planning sets the Sprint Goal and selects backlog items to forecast work for the upcoming sprint.
  • Daily Standups (about 15 minutes) synchronize the team, surface blockers, and adjust the plan for the next 24 hours.
  • Sprint Reviews inspect the product with stakeholders, gather feedback, and may update the Product Backlog.
  • Sprint Retrospectives identify process improvements; Scrum of Scrums aligns multiple teams on dependencies and integration, led by the Chief Scrum Master.

Example

A program has four Scrum Teams building different components of an e-commerce platform. Each team runs its Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective. Every other day, a Scrum of Scrums meets with one delegate per team, facilitated by the Chief Scrum Master, to resolve an API versioning dependency and schedule an integrated test plan for the next release.
