The Agile life cycle

This section is probably the most tested because some specific events and artifacts occur during an Agile project. The life cycle is so much more different from a predictive environment, so it should be easier to identify in the exam.

There are five main Scrum events:

• Sprint planning
• The Sprint
• The Daily Scrum/stand-up
• Sprint review
• Sprint retrospective

When I think of the word Sprint and how it applies to the framework, I think of running very quickly but not getting very far. It's the same concept in Scrum and most Agile frameworks. The Sprint is typically 1 month or 2 weeks in duration. That allows for a consistent duration to be in place for all development efforts.

That does not mean that the project is over and done with. In fact, a new Sprint starts immediately after the previous Sprint is over until such a time when the customer or organization determines that the project is complete.
