Scrum done right team session

Before the session

Read Days 13, 14 and 16 (about five minutes each), or Module 2 on the cheat sheet.

The 30 minutes

1. 0–5 minOpen

   Quick round: which of our regular meetings last ended in a real decision?

2. 5–15 minDiscuss three days
   • Day 13: One sentence. One outcome.Could we state our current sprint goal in one sentence, and would it help us decide what to drop?
   • Day 14: Not a status meeting.Does our daily meeting plan the day toward the goal, or has it become a status report?
   • Day 16: Retros that change something.What was our last retro change, who owned it, and did we check whether it helped?
3. 15–25 minExercise: Write the goal

   Take the current sprint's items. Each person writes the sprint goal in one sentence, alone, in two minutes. Compare, then agree one version the team could use to decide what to drop if the sprint goes wrong.

4. 25–30 minAction for the week

   Use the agreed goal at every daily meeting this week, and note one moment it helped the team decide something.

   Agree the team rule: “Every event ends in a decision.”
