Introduction to Scrum – Part 7

Scrum Events

The first scrum event to consider is the Sprint or iteration: that’s how the work is going to be divided and is the core of Scrum. Sprints are timeboxed periods of between one and six weeks in duration. The second event is the Sprint Planning: that’s a meeting where the scrum team organizes the work for the next sprint. In this planning, the team discusses which tasks are going to be completed and their weight, which means, the effort needed to complete each one of the tasks. It’s up to each development team member to decide which tasks can be done, Scrum allows for the self-organizing of the team, there is no need for someone deciding what the development team is going to do.

The third event is the Daily Scrum Meeting: this is, as the name suggests, is a short daily meeting which involves the scrum team for a maximum of 15 minutes.  The team discusses three points: what they did yesterday, what they are planning to do today and if they are facing any issues or impediments. This meeting is not the place to discuss further the tasks or problems, if there is a need for it, the development member should discuss with the Scrum Master after, so they can assist the developer in completing the task.

The fourth event is the Sprint Review: during the sprint review the development team demonstrates the sprint deliverables, and the product owner either accepts the work as done or rejects the work.  Any rejected work or required modifications are then added to the product backlog and prioritized for future sprints.

The last event is the Sprint Retrospective: this event is the opportunity for the scrum team to evaluate the processes from the current sprint. Topics include: discuss what went well, what did not go well, and what can be improved? This discussion allows the team to better understand the problems they had and to improve for next sprint, as well as to appreciate what went well and continue doing it.
