Scrum Meetings
Scrum prescribes four regular meetings to inspect and adapt the product, process, and progress: Sprint planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective. Sprint Planning is intended to plan the Sprint, and the Sprint Goal, and how it will be achieved. Daily Scrum is a 15-minute meeting for the Development Team to synchronize activities and make plan for the next 24 hours. Sprint Review is held at the end of the Sprint to inspect the Increment and adapt the Product Backlog. The Sprint Retrospective is an opportunity for the Scrum Team to inspect itself and create a plan for improvements to be enacted during the next Sprint.
