- Sprint Planning: sprints run for 1 week 5 work days: Wed - Tues (originally Mon - Fri); planning takes place on the first day of the sprint and timeboxed for 1 hour. The product owner, in collaboration with the team manager, determines which tickets are ready to work on and their priority.

- Sprint Retrospective: follows the Sprint Review (and a break), timeboxed for 45 minutes; includes deciding on a kaizen (small improvement for the next sprint)
