Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Morning huddle, circle tight, fifteen minutes max
Yesterday I conquered bugs, today I'm building stacks
Blockers lurking in my path, database won't connect
Team assembles, shares the load, keeps our sprint on track

[Chorus]
Stand and plan and demo clean
Retro thoughts and backlog dreams
Sprint by sprint we iterate
Ceremonies orchestrate
What went well, what needs repair
Action items, team declare
Agile rhythms, never break
Excellence is what we make

[Verse 2]
Planning poker, story points, capacity we gauge
Sprint goal shining like a beacon, guiding every stage
Commitment carved in digital stone, two weeks we dedicate
Velocity and burndown charts, our progress they dictate

[Chorus]
Stand and plan and demo clean
Retro thoughts and backlog dreams
Sprint by sprint we iterate
Ceremonies orchestrate
What went well, what needs repair
Action items, team declare
Agile rhythms, never break
Excellence is what we make

[Verse 3]
Demo day, stakeholders gather, working software gleams
Features dancing on the screen, fulfilling user dreams
Sprint review, feedback flowing, product owner beams
Increment delivered solid, bursting at the seams

[Bridge]
Retrospective healing circle, three questions we explore
What succeeded, what stumbled, what improvements are in store
Action items crystallizing, team commitment to the core
Backlog grooming sessions polish stories we adore

[Verse 4]
Release planning, bigger picture, roadmap stretching wide
Multiple sprints coordinated, features unified
Refinement sessions breaking down epics into bite-sized parts
Acceptance criteria sculpted, definition of done imparts

[Chorus]
Stand and plan and demo clean
Retro thoughts and backlog dreams
Sprint by sprint we iterate
Ceremonies orchestrate
What went well, what needs repair
Action items, team declare
Agile rhythms, never break
Excellence is what we make

[Outro]
Ceremonies weave together, Agile tapestry complete
Scrum events in perfect harmony, making teams compete
With themselves to grow and flourish, retrospection sweet
PMP mastery awaiting, knowledge at your feet
