Events

Scrum Events

Official Event Group

Scrum Events create regularity and provide clear opportunities to inspect and adapt throughout the Sprint.

Plain English explanation

Scrum Events are the planned moments where the Scrum Team aligns, checks progress, gathers feedback, and improves.

What they are

The official Scrum Events are the Sprint, Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective. Each event has a clear purpose and supports the team’s learning cycle.

Why they matter

Scrum Events create a regular rhythm. Instead of random meetings, the team has specific moments to plan, inspect, adapt, and improve.

How they work

The Sprint contains all other events. Sprint Planning sets direction, the Daily Scrum helps Developers adapt daily, the Sprint Review gathers feedback, and the Sprint Retrospective improves how the team works.

Key idea

Every Scrum Event exists to support inspection and adaptation.

Key points

  • Events reduce the need for extra meetings
  • Each event has a specific purpose
  • Events help the team inspect progress
  • Events help the team adapt quickly
