Scrum Guidance Body Meetings
Regular sessions where the Scrum Guidance Body evaluates whether its Recommendations need updates, drawing on inputs like improvement ideas from Retrospectives and other processes, as well as new or revised regulations. The body sets how often to meet based on the specific needs of the enterprise.
Key Points
- Purpose is to review and decide on updates to Scrum Guidance Body Recommendations.
- Inputs include retrospective insights, process feedback, and regulatory changes.
- Meeting cadence is determined by the organization's context and needs, not a fixed schedule.
- Outcomes may include updated recommendations, a backlog of improvement items, or guidance for teams and leadership.
Example
A global fintech company holds Scrum Guidance Body meetings every quarter. The group reviews suggestions from team Retrospectives and new compliance rules, then updates enterprise-wide Definition of Done and branching policies. When a major regulation changes midyear, they schedule an extra meeting to issue interim guidance.
