Scrum Time Boxes Visualized

For a couple of years now, I've used a diagram created in an Excel spreadsheet to explain to new team members how the various Scrum time boxes interact.  Here's a screenshot (click to enlarge it):

The columns in the SPRINT portion of the diagram represent work days.  It should be noted that a Scrum work day doesn't necessarily start in the morning -- it starts with the Scrum.

Feel free to use this image in your team training.

If you don't recognize the "Story Sizing" ceremony, it's something we do a bit differently from traditional Scrum, but that has been adopted by many organizations.  We came into it organically before I saw mention of it in other Scrum literature.  Perhaps that will be the topic of a future Scrum Now!
