Thanks to you content, I got my first Scrum Master gig. Though a contract role, its a foot in the door.

Aisha, we really appreciate your videos because they are all very informative. I agree with you because if properly used, the Backlog Refinement could clearly replace Sprint Planning even though all Scrum Events are valuable.

If you smile through your interview like Aisha, there's no way you won't get the job...always love the smile

Aisha, thank you for this response. This is a tricky question. My thoughts to this is all the 4 scrum events are important and taking away one event, then we can't be talking of scrum. I would rather look on best ways to manage or run each event to make it interesting for the team to participate. Like you rightly said Backlog refinement is not a ceremony but a continuous process. My opinion. Thinks for advise.

Question number one is very tricky and the interviewer might ask you the below question ; so I might need to disagree with you .
But there won’t be any product to deliver. If the team doesn’t stick to the sprint planning, how would they know what to prioritize based on user stories? If there is no sprint planning, the spring backlog is not enough

Oh Lord. So if the required scrum events are 1. Sprint Planning, 2. Daily Standup, 3. Sprint Review and 4. Retrospective, you notice that "backlog refinement" is NOT one of the scrum events you mentioned. In the guide, refinement is "recommended but not required", since it doesn't have to be a meeting. So, it is very odd that you suggest removing a required scrum event with one that was not even given as an option in your introductory statement, and is not a formal event in scrum. Now, let's pretend that you did include backlog refinement as event #5. It is possible to plan stories in the refinement sessions, that is true. But since there is constant change on a scrum team, it is very unsafe to presume that whatever stories were "planned" on last Friday are still valid come the next sprint start on Wednesday. So there is risk in skipping planning due to this alone. Additionally, the team needs to AGREE on the scope within the sprint, and they cannot do that if they don't meet one last time to review and plan and commit. Finally, part of sprint planning is looking at capacity; "Who will be out this sprint? How many days? How many points/stories should we remove from the sprint?" If you skip this step, you are likely to overcommit the team. As a hiring manager and coach, I would never propose dropping an event. Instead, I would expect the SM to say: "Dropping an event is a serious decision and we would need to investigate this. I would want to gather more information, and speak with our coach and my manager first." Then I would want the candidate to ask questions back to me, as the interviewer. "What events do you currently use? What reasons are they giving for wanting to drop an event? Is there an event they think is useless? Have they made suggestions about how I can improve it?" When I see a candidate is too scared to ask questions, and is instead quickly willing to scrap the scrum guide to keep the team happy, without exploring options, I know we are about to have problems.

Hello Aisha, Thank you so much for all you are doing for the community. Please do you offer SAFe Scrum training/coaching?

[jalvoice]

Great explanation to a very tricky question. By the way I just ordered a Hoodie from your store. Any discount for future orders?

[omolaraomotinugbon]

I love your approach about this. Thank you

[pierrettenjikang]

I agree with the Sprint Planning only if we have been doing backlog refinement 😂😂. Could this be one of those tricky questions where they want to make sure we know the importance of all the ceremonies?

[MaheshBabu-kebu]

Sprint planning and backlog refinement of you do the same time it will take more time or at the same time, because if there is the team that needs technical clarification or some thing that the team cannot understand the requirements. So for just an interview you can say this to impress your interviewer, if not this is an anti pattern. I think if the scrum doesn't want first place why do they need to keep in the scrum guide 😂.

My opinion this is not good 💡 idea.

Have a wonderful day.

Hello Aisha, thank you for the good work you do. I have a question what happens if the stakeholders do not come for the sprint review.

Key Differences Between Scrum Master and Project Manager

[eugeneachaleke]

I strongly disagree with your backup argument in response to the first question ;Which of the agile events will you eliminate if given the chance. Stating your response as sprint planing is fine. Arguing that it can be replace by backlog refinement is wrong. Officially backlog refinement is not one of the agile recommended events and it should not be considered as an official event.

I will rather do away with retrospective. It is process improvement but can be merged or communicated during other events. Besides, good planning will have a team working agreement that can be updated My take

[subhasundar]

Aisha. Thank you for all the knowledge . Can you please start a free whatsapp group for your channel subscribers, where we can share and expand our knowledge under your supervision/ facilitation?
