Scrum ceremonies the way i remember them

These are the ceremonies that are parte of the scrum agile methodology. I think.

Sprint

It's a immutable period of time where things will happen.

It's very important to respect the boundaries of this time box. Otherwise everything else becomes impossible to measure.

Piece of information describing the meaning of the work to be done.

A new system feature mostly.

Can count with other artifacts, a screen prototype or database scripts. something else to help to make things happen.

Besides the developer/designer/dba roles, which are the roles that will execute the tasks, a few other roles must exists:

Responsible for schedule and conduct the ceremonies

Responsible for create and accept tasks. Defines how the product should be. It's common to say that he/she "owns" the product.

The most important meeting. Everyone meet and talk about what is happening.

Sometimes there is an ice breaker, but it's not that common.

Each person describes:

The daily standup is supposed to be fast, if something demands more attention, they involved members can talk about it after the standup.

In this meeting the team talk about the tickets to be done. Try do guess how long will it take to be done, if it makes sense, etc.

Depending on the team size, a technique called poker planning can be used to do the estimates for each task.

In this meeting the team shows the progress of the current sprint. What was already done and how is it working.

Usually it's shown for directors, sales team, etc.

A meeting to talk about what went well, what went wrong and what could be improved about the way the team works based on the previous sprint.

This is important because scrum isn't written in stone and must be adapted for each team using it.

For each of those topics there is a lot more, but you will identify at least those ones in agile teams.

Happy Hacking.
