1. Product Backlog Refinement: Features such as seat reservation,

ticket booking, and admin controls were prioritized.

2. Sprint Planning: Tasks were allocated per sprint, aligning with

milestones like frontend completion or payment gateway setup.

3. Daily Stand-ups: The team met regularly to track progress, iden-

tify blockers, and ensure smooth collaboration.

4. Sprint Review: Completed features were demonstrated to stake-

holders, who provided feedback for improvement.

5. Sprint Retrospective: Post-sprint discussions focused on what

went well and what could be improved.

6. Increment Release: Key functional modules were integrated and

tested after each sprint cycle.
