Why is Rhythm important?
The Empirical Process is based on Transparency, Inspection, and Adaptation. Therefore Rhythm of Inspection, and Adaptation is very important. It will help your Scrum team have Time-Box and circle of Focus, Learn and Mature.
“Rhythm helps the team to focus and reduces the complexity”
Build it at the beginning
One of the very important things I used to build when starting a new Scrum team is having the Scrum team define the rhythm of events.
Let’s start this with 5 events of Scrum, and facilitate the team to build their Schedule:
Sprint: define the Sprint duration. (Read more about Sprint length here)
Sprint Planning: Time-box; when and where will it be held?
Daily Scrum: Time-box; when and where will it be held?
Sprint Review: Time-box; when and where will it be held?
Sprint Retrospective: Time-box; when and where will it be held?
Below is an example of Schedule:
Make it transparent
There are 2 things you should do to make sure this Schedule is transparent:
– Remember to maintain & update it following the real needs.
– Make it visible to all stakeholders.
