Reflective activities: The daily scrum 

For each step in this Course, there is a reflective activity that will help you prepare for the video and allow you develop some of your own ideas about the video topic. 

Before watching each video, complete the related reflective activity: 

The sprint review 

What do you think the main benefits of the sprint review are? 

The sprint retrospective 

The sprint retrospective gives teams a moment to reflect on what they have achieved. What do you think are some of the things which could stop the retro from being effective? 

Product backlog refinement 

Product backlog refinement is a great way to keep user stories relevant and up to date. What do you think the scrum masters role is in effective product backlog refinement? 

Scrum of scrums

Check your ideas as you watch each video.
