| <mainDescription>Scrum provides meeting opportunities to communicate about the product, project and process.&nbsp; these collaboration |
| opportunities all share a common theme, they are all timeboxed.&nbsp; For the most part, the meetings try and ensure that |
| the people who will gain the most from the interaction are involved directly.<br /></mainDescription> |
| <keyConsiderations>Since most of the meetings are specified up front, there is usually a concern that there are too many meetings.&nbsp; The |
| meetings have been identified as a way to ensure that communication at specific points in the project lifecycle are carried |
| out with the key participants and with clear goals.<br /> |
| <br /> |
| Meetings have a clear duration and purpose.&nbsp; A meeting facilitator is responsible for ensuring that the meetings are |
| conducted within the specified amount of time, and also to esnure that the participants remain focused.<br /> |
| <br /> |
| Participants of a Scrum project should endeavor to collaborate as often as they deem necessary, and not wait for the next |
| predefined interaction to occur.&nbsp; Scrum, and Agile in general, is about opening the avenues of communication between |
| all participants.<br /></keyConsiderations> |
