Scrum Events

Scrum Events are mandatory opportunities given by Scrum to Inspect and Adapt. The reason they are mandatory is that Scrum is a inspect-adapt way of solving complex adaptive problems. If we do not use the minimum opportunities then a fundamental aspect of Scrum is compromised. These events are specifically designed to enable critical transparency and inspection. Failure to include any of these events results in reduced transparency and is a lost opportunity to inspect and adapt.

Scrum Events create regularity and minimize the need for meetings not defined in Scrum. All events are time-boxed events, such that every event has a maximum duration. Once a Sprint begins, its duration is fixed and cannot be shortened or lengthened. The remaining events may end whenever the purpose of the event is achieved, ensuring an appropriate amount of time is spent without allowing waste in the process.

There are 5 Events in Scrum

• Sprint – which is container of all the other events
• Sprint Planning
• Daily Scrum
• Sprint Review
• Sprint Retrospective
