What's the difference between a sprint review, a sprint demo, and a retrospective? For beginners to scrum (and even for some who are more experienced), it can be hard to tell them apart. But they are distinct, and if your scrum team is to succeed, it is critically important to understand the differences.

I've spoken before about the importance of establishing trust, empathy, and a common set of values for distributed teams (and really, for all teams, everywhere). At a macro level, it's all about creating a culture that is conducive to working together, despite geographic differences.
