Product Release\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nThe launch of a Scrum team depends on need and financing. Typically the incentive derives from building a new product (software, hardware, or service).\u00a0 Throughout the Scrum articles and Scrum events, using the term Product Backlog<\/em> could refer to an intangible service. When words are capitalized, it\u2019s because they are capitalized in the Scrum Guide<\/em> or because they refer to a Tool that is found in our curriculum.\r\n

Scrum Events -- Epics<\/h2>\r\nMany refer to a product release project as an epic, a big chunk of work. The epic breaks into multiple themes, or features. Each theme or feature constitutes a number of requirements or stories. Detailed story \u2018slices\u2019 get called user stories or requirements.\r\n\r\nThe Scrum Guide does not use the terms \u2018epic,' \u2018theme,' \u2018feature,' or \u2018story.\u2019 Thus, we strive to avoid relying on these terms as well.\u00a0 Since Mike Cohn, Kenneth Rubin, and others have made these or similar terms common parlance, we rely on you to adapt the Scrum framework and our \u2018plain vanilla\u2019 terms to guide you.\r\n\r\nTo launch into a series of Sprints, establish the product vision (or goal). Explain the objectives and reasons associated with justifying the investment.\u00a0 The following helps establish a baseline for moving forward.\r\n\r\nProject charters could like a thirty page package or a Six Sigma charter that fits on a single page.\u00a0 We remain methodologically agnostic, but suggest that all versions have one thing in common, a statement of purpose.\r\n

Purpose of the <\/strong>Organization<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nFirst we need to understand the reason for the existence of the sponsoring group, the customer or primary stakeholder.\u00a0 While components like mission, values, measures, etc., are typically found, you can also substitute our Purpose Tool to build a quick and consensual understanding of the general context for the product.\r\n

Purpose of the <\/strong>\u2028<\/strong>Product<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nNext, at a minimum, we need to establish the purpose of the product (frequently referred to as a project).\u00a0 Again, while teams will normally develop an opportunity statement, situation analysis, etc., we can roll up the primary reasons for the purpose of the Product with the Purpose Tool.\u00a0 Once we have both, there should be enough information to move ahead with a series of Sprints to develop the product.\r\n

Scrum\u00a0<\/strong>Events<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nIn addition to frequent one-on-one and one-on-few sessions, along with ongoing Backlog Refinement, the Scrum framework requires four formal Scrum\u00a0events<\/strong> for inspection and adaptation during each Sprint. They include:\r\n
    \r\n \t
  1. Sprint Planning<\/li>\r\n \t
  2. Daily Scrum<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
      \r\n \t
    • Development work (including Product Backlog Refinement; technically an activity, not an event\u2014typically more than one Refinement activity per Sprint)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
        \r\n \t
      1. Sprint Review<\/li>\r\n \t
      2. Sprint Retrospective<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>","link":"https:\/\/mgrush.com\/blog\/category\/meeting-agendas\/scrum-events\/","name":"Scrum
