    SCRUM is one of the most popular management ideologies in tech centers such as Silicon Valley and the Bay Area. It was first introduced in the 80s, but it didn’t come to prominence until the late 90s. Over 20 years later, it’s now considered standard procedure in many places, but despite its prevalence, it remains frequently misunderstood. One of the most essential aspects is the SCRUM ceremony — the term used to describe a designated event within each sprint — and the term “sprint” refers to a time-boxed work period. Learn how these terms play out in the SCRUM framework and how they can be applied in the virtual workspace.

    What are the 5 Scrum Ceremonies

    Every SCRUM sprint is comprised of five unique ceremonies. The first of these is Sprint Planning, which involves the delegation of tasks for the time that follows. Collaboration is encouraged and the length of the meeting will depend on the length of the sprint. The next ceremony is the Daily SCRUM, in which team members inspect the progress made thus far and identify any elements of the Backlog that should be addressed. Thirdly, the Sprint Review offers an opportunity to analyze the outcome of the sprint itself and identify any changes that should be made in the future.

    Though these ceremonies were intended to take place in person, they can easily be adapted for a video call with Zoom office backgrounds. The fourth ceremony is the Sprint Retrospective. The purpose of this event is to develop habits that improve processes. To this end, team members will engage in introspection and suggest potential improvements for the next SCRUM sprint. Finally, the Backlog Refinement ceremony requires team members to take ownership of backlog items and break each one into smaller tasks.

    How Can You Run Them Remotely

    If SCRUM ceremonies sound confusing, just imagine trying to host one virtually. It may be difficult, but it can be done. Companies that are hosting SCRUM ceremonies virtually should look into virtual background Teams and Zoom for more information on installing a custom background. SCRUM is all about consistency and productivity, so it’s a good idea to have a uniform background in place when you’re hosting ceremonies online. Maintaining a custom company background can create the professional appearance that’s missing when your team is working remotely. Make your next SCRUM meeting a success with a background that features your company’s logo.

    You may find that your computer won’t allow you to use a custom background, though. There are many potential culprits to this issue, including outdated software or a program error. If you encounter this problem, you should research how to bypass Zoom virtual background requirements and install a custom background for your SCRUM meetings on Zoom or Teams. Your next ceremony will look great when it takes place against a professional background.

    Invest in the appeal and professionalism of a custom Zoom background. Your teammates will love it, and your virtual SCRUM ceremonies will be even more special than before.
