Relevance of Play in Scrum
All plays in this book promote collaboration and collective (team) ownership and are instrumental during:
- Sprints – to provide focus to an otherwise distracted, disrupted, impeded, or scattered team (not a focused one!), serving the goal of any sprint: turning ideas into value.
- Sprint Planning – to promote orientation and collaboration towards the Sprint Goal, as the purpose of Sprint Planning is to create a forecast for the Sprint.
- Daily Scrum – to make Scrum events eventful and worth everyone’s time.
- Sprint Review – to boost Stakeholder attendance and “serve what you’ve cooked” in the right way.
- Sprint Retrospective – to reflect on people, processes, and tools respectfully and encouragingly.
