3. Sprint & Events Flashcards
What should the Scrum Team do when during the Sprint Retrospective meeting, they identified some improvements that can be done?
The most impactful improvements are addressed as soon as possible. They may even be added to the Sprint Backlog for the next Sprint.
When the Scrum Team identifies improvements during the Sprint Retrospective meeting, it’s essential to address them promptly for several reasons:
Continuous Improvement: Scrum emphasizes continuous improvement through regular reflection and adaptation. Addressing improvements as soon as possible ensures that the team can enhance their processes and practices iteratively, leading to better productivity and outcomes over time.
Immediate Impact: Addressing the most impactful improvements right away can yield immediate benefits. This might include resolving recurring issues, optimizing workflows, or implementing new practices that enhance collaboration or product quality.
Commitment to Learning: By adding improvements to the Sprint Backlog for the next Sprint, the team demonstrates a commitment to learning and adapting. It ensures that the insights gained from retrospectives translate into tangible actions that contribute to ongoing refinement and optimization of their work processes.
Alignment with Goals: Improvements identified during retrospectives often align with the team’s goals for delivering value. By prioritizing these improvements and incorporating them into future Sprints, the team ensures that they are continuously aligning their efforts with the overarching project or product objectives.
In summary, addressing improvements promptly after they are identified in the Sprint Retrospective enables the Scrum Team to uphold the principles of agility, adaptability, and continuous improvement, ultimately enhancing their effectiveness and ability to deliver value.
What is a possible result of the Sprint Review?

The Sprint Review is a crucial event in Scrum where the Scrum Team and stakeholders inspect the Increment delivered during the Sprint. One possible result of the Sprint Review is the creation or revision of the Product Backlog. This happens when new insights, feedback, or requirements emerge from stakeholders or based on the delivered Increment. The team may identify new Product Backlog items or adjust existing ones to align with the product’s evolving needs and priorities. Therefore, a revised Product Backlog emerges that outlines the likely items to be worked on in the subsequent Sprint, reflecting the outcomes and discussions from the Sprint Review.
When is the Sprint over?

What’s the timeboxed duration of Sprint Retrospective meetings?
