Agile project management involves several types of meetings, also known as ceremonies or events, each serving a unique purpose:
- Sprint Planning: This is for planning the work that will be done in the upcoming Sprint (two to four weeks of work). The team discusses and prioritizes tasks in the product backlog.
- Daily Stand-up or Scrum: A short 15-minute meeting where each team member discusses what they did yesterday, what they're working on today, and any obstacles they're facing.
- Sprint Review: A meeting at the end of the sprint where the team presents what has been achieved in the sprint. Stakeholders provide feedback that could influence the next sprint.
- Sprint Retrospective: This is where the team reviews the past sprint, discussing what went well, what challenges were faced, and actions for improvement in the next sprint.
- Backlog Refinement (Grooming): This is a regular session where product backlog items are reviewed and refined, in preparation for upcoming sprints.
- Release Planning: This is a high-level meeting to plan the overall direction of the product over the next few months.
Note: While these are common in many Agile-based projects, Agile is flexible and not all projects may include all of these meetings or may have additional meetings depending on their specific process/framework (e.g., Scrum, Kanban).
