the Sprint is a container for the other events

Hello,

I read: "Every event in Scrum, besides the Sprint which is a container for the other events, is an opportunity to Inspect AND Adapt."

Maybe it's a language issue, but shouldn't it be "...except the Sprint..."?

Thanks in advance,

S.J. Westra

Sprint meetings are all inspect are adapt, whether its daily scrum or sprint review or sprint retrospection. Sprint being a short time period(time boxed) you get this opportunity to inspect and adapt comparing the conventional project methodologies.

Hello Susanta,

Thanks. I completely agree that all sprint events / meetings are opportunities to inspect & adapt, e.g. sprint planning, daily scrum, sprint review and sprint retrospective.

The sprint itself is a container for these events and not a meeting...I think.

No issue anyway, thanks again

Hmmm, this is interesting because a Sprint is arguably more than just a container. Inspect & Adapt opportunities occur *throughout* the sprint and are continuous. Planning, standups, reviews, and retrospectives are the discrete opportunities.
