Ceremonies is controlled processes and documents that constitute events and outputs in any given methodology. A high degree of ceremony frequently implies a high degree of control and traceability. Based on the just‐in‐time and just‐enough model, agile projects generally have a lower degree of ceremony. Agile ceremonies include iteration planning, daily meetings, and retrospectives.
