I work in Scrum, so the ceremonies I follow are the four core ones plus backlog refinement.
- Sprint planning. We agree a sprint goal and pick the highest-priority backlog items that fit. I make sure the team understands the reason behind each item as well as the work itself.
- Daily stand-up. A 15-minute sync on progress toward the sprint goal. The main thing I listen for is blockers, so they can be dealt with right after the meeting.
- Sprint review. We demo the done increment to stakeholders and collect their feedback, which is how we find out early if we are building the wrong thing.
- Sprint retrospective. We look at what worked and what did not during the sprint and pick one or two changes for the next one.
- Backlog refinement. Mid-sprint sessions where we estimate and clarify upcoming stories, so planning does not stall on unclear work.
