Sprint meetings
Sprint planning meeting
at the beginning of a Sprint. Participants are the Pigs (Product owner, SCRUM master, the entire SCRUM team).

Sprint review meeting

at the end of a Sprint. Participants are the Pigs + management, customers, and engineers from other projects. takes the form of a demo of the new features. intentionally kept very informal (not to become a distraction for the development process) no presentations allowed a natural end of the sprint

The Product owner selects the highest priority features.

The SCRUM master brakes each feature into tasks. The SCRUM team distributes the tasks among the members. The Master and the Team discuss and estimate the time needed for each task.

Stand-up meeting
Stand-up meetings
intended to be quick, not consuming time but giving information for the current state of the Sprint and changes in Sprint end date

answer the questions:

What have you done since yesterday? What are you planning to do by tomorrow? Do you have any problems preventing you from accomplishing your goal?

time-boxing is vital for the effective stand-up meeting each member of the SCRUM team has strictly limited time for answering the three questions

What was that about the pigs and chicken?!

There was the story of a chicken and a pig walking down the street The Chicken said: - Why dont we open a restaurant? - Why not? agreed the Chicken. - But how should we call it? - Ham and Eggs sounds nice to me! answered the Chicken. SCRUM is that restaurant. Pigs are those, committed to the project, whereas Chicken are only involved. Only Pigs have the right to speak at the Stand-up meeting.
