Sprint demo Sprint demos allow the team to present work that was completed in the sprint to other team members and stakeholders. They also create opportunities to others to ask clarifying questions. Second Thursday of each sprint 1 hour
Sprint retro Retrospectives allow the team to reflect on the sprint that just finished and discuss what's working and what's not. This allows the team to identify areas to improve. Second Thursday of each sprint 30 minutes
