A Guide to Scrum Ceremonies: What You Need to Know!
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.

Thanks for watching! So as far as "when the best time is" there really isn't a specific outlined time to do so however we recommend doing so 1-2 days after the sprint has ended. We also have weekly meetings on Thursdays just to touch base briefly during sprints to make sure everyone still has everything they need to complete the work that's currently in their sprint.
Hey thanks for the information Can you tell what tool did you use for Sprint planning? @1:00

Well explained, but you didn't talk about grooming ceremony why?

Thanks, Rachid! So, Grooming is a term more often used in Europe, it's the same thing as backlog refinement. Which is something we touch on in the video I believe. Grooming is where a team or just the Product Manager (SCRUM Product Owner in SCRUM), and the Project Manager (SCRUM Master in SCRUM) go over items in the backlog to make sure all of the information is in the task before work gets started on it. They look at all of the tasks in the backlog coming up in the next few sprints. Any items in the current sprint should all be baked out with details. I think we cover it at 6:51 Thanks so much for your question we really appreciate you stopping by our channel!

Thanks alot. But, I thought backlog refinement is not part of sprint ceremonies? Also, sprint planning takes place on the first day of the sprint
What are the differences between events and ceremonies?
What about backlog refinement?
@Hubstaff
2 жыл бұрын
Hey TKP! Thanks for checking out the video! So, backlog refinement is not typically done with the whole team which is why it isn't considered a scrum ceremony. It's usually done with the product manager and a key stakeholder - like a VP of product. This is where they go through the backlog and remove dated/irrelevant tasks and prioritize the backlog. Something might go in the "Icebox" if it's not ready to be worked on at all in the foreseeable future.
What about grooming?
Plot twist: they are called “Scrum Events” not ceremonies. Never been labeled as that in the scrum guide so not sure where people get that from. It’s not the Olympics. Lol

They're referred to both Scrum ceremonies and Scrum events you'll find both terms in a wider variety of documentation. "Scrum Ceremonies" also had more search volume here on KZread so we titled it according to what people were looking for :) thanks for watching btw we appreciate you stopping by our channel!

Good information but this background music is so irritating
