In this insightful video, we continue our exciting dialogue with Lorina Pardi, focusing on the crucial role of feedback loops in the Scrum framework, especially in relation to the PhD application process. We touch on the importance of the Sprint Review and Sprint Retrospective events at the end of each Sprint. The Sprint Review is attended by stakeholders, including those who have a stake in the outcome of a project – which draws parallels to receiving feedback from universities or mentors during a PhD application. Meanwhile, the Sprint Retrospective provides the Scrum Team, or in our context, the applicants, a dedicated time for self-reflection. We discuss self-reflection, the effectiveness of the tools used, communication strategies, learnings from the current Sprint, and adjustments for future Sprints to enhance learning and improvement. Join us as we explore these crucial Scrum events in the unique setting of PhD applications, offering valuable insights to both Agile practitioners and future PhD students.
