Scrum ceremonies are the foundation of any well-functioning Scrum team. In this video, we explain the four key Scrum ceremonies that 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 are meetings for Agile Scrum teams.

Before we get into the four different ceremonies in this video, let's briefly discuss what Scrum is, what Sprints are, and the different team roles in a Scrum team.

What is Scrum? (00:29)

Scrum is an agile framework that originates from the world of software development and is widely used in various teams due to its simplicity and efficiency.

What are sprints? (00:46)

During each sprint, the team focuses on completing a specific set of tasks. When these are completed, it is considered an iteration, which is followed by reviews.

The different roles in the Scrum team (1:17)

There are three key roles that need to be covered here, all of which are equally important.

Product owner

First, there is the Product Owner, who represents both customers and stakeholders and is responsible for ensuring that the project delivers added value.

ScrumMasters

The Scrum Master is responsible for maintaining agile practices.

The team

The rest of the team is responsible for implementing and completing the project themselves.

The Scrum Ceremonies (1:59)

Ceremonies also play a critical role in keeping teams flexible and open to change. Because they occur on a scheduled basis, new information can be communicated quickly and easily to those who need it.

Sprint planning (2:21)

Sprint planning takes place before the start of the sprint. In this meeting, the team discusses the details of how the work will actually be done. Going into detail about each task the team will be working on in the next sprint will help everyone complete the work on time and as planned. Every team member should be present at 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 inform everyone about the current work content of the day. It should be quick and uncomplicated and is organized by the Scrum Master. It is not a detailed status meeting. It is important that the entire team also takes part in this event.

Sprint Review (3:39)

The Sprint Review takes place immediately after each sprint. The team checks whether the sprint goals have been achieved. The product backlog is then updated accordingly. Everyone should be present to present the progress and the work done.

Sprint Retrospective (4:09)

The Sprint Retrospective is a dedicated time to discuss how to improve processes and tools after the Sprint. Team members assess what went well and any impediments should be addressed for the next Sprint.
