The 5 Scrum events are used to provide structured opportunities for Inspection & Adaptation. The events are:
- The Sprint
- Sprint Planning
- Daily Scrum
- Sprint Review
- Sprint Retrospective
The Sprint
The Sprint is a timebox of one month or less, during which a Done Increment is created that achieves a Sprint Goal. Sprint length should remain consistent over time.
The Sprint is a container event and includes the other Scrum events and all the work to create the Increment.
Sprint Planning
Sprint Planning occurs at the start of each Sprint and is timeboxed to 8 hours. The Scrum Team attends.
The result of Sprint Planning is a Sprint Backlog that details the work to be carried out in the Sprint including a plan of how it will be Done and a Sprint Goal that explains why the work is valuable.
Daily Scrum
The Daily Scrum is a 15-minute timeboxed event that is held every working day. It is for the Developers to plan their next 24 hours and inspect progress toward the Sprint Goal. The structure of the Daily Scrum is set by the Developers.
