The Scrum Sprint Cycle

Run the Scrum Cycle MicroSim Fullscreen

About This MicroSim

A circular Scrum sprint diagram. The outer ring shows the four events; the inner ticks are daily standups. Backlog flows in from the left; potentially-shippable increment flows out to the right. Switch sprint length (1, 2, 4 weeks) and watch the daily ticks redistribute.
