• facilitating interaction with stakeholders upon request or if necessary.

A Scrum Master serves the organization in several ways, including:

• directing, training and advising the organization in Scrum application;

• planning the transition to Scrum and advising on Scrum application within the organization;

• helping employees and stakeholders understand and apply an empirical approach to complex work;

• removing barriers between stakeholders and Scrum Teams.

SCRUM EVENTS

Sprint is a container for all other events. Every event in Scrum is a formal opportunity for inspection and adaptation of Scrum artifacts. These events are specially designed to provide the necessary transparency. Failure to conduct any of the Scrum events in accordance with the description leads to a loss of opportunities for inspection and adaptation. Events are used in Scrum to create regularity and minimize the need for meetings not defined in Scrum. A good practice of reducing complexity is to hold all events at the same time, in the same place.

SPRINT

Sprints are the pulse of Scrum, where ideas turn into value. This event has a fixed duration of no more than one month to ensure consistency. A new Sprint starts immediately after the completion of the previous one. All the work needed to achieve the Product Goal, including Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum27, Sprint Review and Sprint Retrospective28 events, is done within Sprints.
